"Coincidentally, you've found a way to restore most of Edith's abilities. If you can do all this, Edith will be a staunch ally of yours!"

Objective: Find the Helsino Tower (unfinished)

Restores Edith (unfinished)

Reward: Arcane Light Fame +15,000

It's not surprising that this mission appeared, and Roddy did not know how much of the mission triggered by chance. However, this quest is significantly different from the blue "repeatable quest" provided by Edith before, it is a rare quest of the trigger class, and the difficulty is marked as "red" - which means that completing the quest is very difficult for Roddy at the moment.

"It's hard for me alone, but I'm not fighting alone now. ”

Roddy breathed a sigh of relief, transcribed the incantation provided by Camila, and hurried downstairs to find Houdini... Finding things is the specialty of the "prophecy" mage, so it's not the right thing to do with him.

As a result, when Roddy came to Houdini's laboratory and said the request, Houdini, who cast the spell on the spot, turned extremely pale after the end of the "tracking technique", if it wasn't for Roddy reaching out to help, he almost collapsed on the ground...

"The obstacles are too strong. ”

Ordinary "tracking technique" Houdini will not have any discomfort when he casts twenty of them, he is a magister anyway, and the magic power in his body is much stronger than that of ordinary mages. But a spell almost dried up his magic power, which only explained one situation: the target that needed to be searched was shielded by an extremely high-level enchantment, and it was not something he could lock at all!

Roddy's face was solemn, and he finally realized what the "red" of the mission marker meant... If Elson City doesn't have a character above level 60, I'm afraid the magic tower will not be able to find it at all.

If this question had been placed a month ago, I am afraid that it would really be unsolvable. But Roddy was extremely glad that he had a "good relationship" with Kardashian in the first place - he glanced at the "map bar", helped Houdini back in his chair, and then turned and rushed to the "Elson Magic Research Department".

By the time Roddy sought Kardashian's help, the "Holy Order" had already begun to act.

Three of the five Elders of the Holy Congregation personally led the team, and the allure of the Helsino Magic Tower was indeed evident. However, with the exception of Dominic, none of the other elders had a magic tower that could move long distances, so they had to use horses to gather in the direction of Elson City.

The three elders, Crawford, Kyle, and Aubrey, were located in the north, east, and southeast directions, and each elder led a team of nearly 100 people. The other two elders did not take matters into their own hands, but because they were too far away, they had to let their subordinates gather their men in a hurry.

But the obvious result was that the two elders' ranks were left far behind.

Although the Helsinki Tower became the "Tower of the Ownerless" due to the fall of Edith, it was too much higher than all the elders, even Dominic, who had not fully mastered all the secrets in the years he had been in control of the Tower, so none of them thought that the moment they entered the Tower would make him obey his orders. For this reason, the three of them had to make an agreement in advance: whoever enters the magic tower first and controls the core will belong to whoever owns the magic tower.

In order to find the magic tower as soon as possible, the three elders did their best, not only gathered their subordinates in the most efficient way, but also took out all their skills and props at the bottom of the box, just to find the location of the magic tower as soon as possible!

However, the problem they face is actually the same as that of Roddy: no one except Dominic knows the location of the Magic Tower in Helsinki, and it is not so much who controls the core of the magic tower first, but how fast they can find it. Fortunately, the address and details of Dominic's previous assembly order outside Elson were inside the "Holy Order", and it was judged that the location of the magic tower must not be far from this town called "Caters".

The location of "Carters Town" is more than 50 kilometers northeast of Elson City, which is one of the closest towns to the city.

The elders who heard the news didn't say a word, and rushed straight with their own troops. Because all the elites who came were the elites of the "Holy Order", even if they were not mages, they were also the most powerful arcane warriors among them, so it only took three days for the fastest Elder Crawford to arrive in this town.

It was late December, and it was snowing heavily outside Elson again. But because it was a stealthy operation, Crawford did not dare to take a team of nearly 100 people to the tavern in the town to swagger and stay, so he had to camp trembling in the wilderness - in order to prevent being discovered, they didn't even dare to live, if they weren't all mages, I'm afraid that many people would have frozen to death by this time.

"The search starts tomorrow, and now we rest. ”

Elder Crawford wore a white fox fur cloak, and he looked as usual because of the presence of a cold-proof barrier. On the contrary, the arcane warriors next to him who needed to save their magic power were all blown red by the wind. The team was accompanied by 40 "auxiliaries" belonging to the Holy Order. Although they don't know magic and haven't become "arcane warriors", they are all loyal warriors cultivated by the "Holy Society", and each individual soldier is extremely high-quality, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not worse than any elite unit.

In the cold weather, everyone was actively setting up camp and heating dinner with the flameless magic circle they carried, but Elder Crawford looked at the shadowy town several kilometers away, closed his eyes and silently probed...

"Whose team is this?"

Feeling the fluctuations of various aura mixed in front of him, Crawford suddenly frowned. His "Sensing Technique" will detect the existence of a magical aura within a kilometer radius, and it stands to reason that if there are other mages here, except for the occasional mage who is rushing to Elson City, I am afraid that there will only be a team led by Kyle or Elder Aubrey.

But he was clearly aware that there was a presence in the town ahead that was very different from that of ordinary mages—its fluctuations were extremely powerful, even surpassing Crawford's strength. But upon closer inspection, I felt that it was like a clergyman.

"Bishop of the Rosicrucian, the only one who has this strength can be above the Cardinal Conference..."

Crawford hesitated for a moment, but gave up on the intention of exploring again - he was here for the Magic Tower, and most importantly, he did not reveal his whereabouts. If the powerful clergyman in front of him can not provoke, he should try not to ignore it, and the province will have extraneous branches.

With this in mind, he quickly arranged two barriers for his team to ensure that they would not be discovered, and then walked back to the tent to recuperate.

At this time, Elder Crawford, who was closed to communication, naturally did not know that the team that stopped in Cartes Town was none other than Sally, the Duke of Evta, who was about to rush to Elson City.

"Duke, is there a situation?"

Titus, who was guarding the doorway, heard the movement in the house and looked in from outside the door.

"It's all right, Knight Titus. ”

With a wave of her hand, Sally signaled that she was fine. After no one was around, she picked up the "pit viper kiss" in her hand again - it felt like she had been pricked by a needle in a flash, although she was aware of it, but she was a little uncertain in her heart... After all, the sudden increase in strength because of the "pit viper's kiss" made her still a little uncomfortable.

Sally thought for a moment, raised her hand, and the three small snakes that were originally hidden on her arms condensed into entities, and climbed down to the couch in front of her. Soon, the three snakes turned their gaze warily to a wall, but after a moment of staring, they relaxed and began to crawl around curiously as usual.

Compared to the appearance of small loaches a few months ago, the shape of the three pit vipers has obviously changed a lot. They were condensed and formed, and they were the thickness of Sally's wrists, and they were nearly two meters long. Although the body scales are similar to those of normal snakes, the heads of Alector, Mergela, and Tisiphone are noticeably different from those of normal pit vipers. The triangular heads have smart eyes, and the color of their bodies is also different, and if you look closely, you will see that their heads are slightly protruding, as if they are about to grow small horns.

Sally reached out and stroked the head of Maggela's snake, the most gentle of the three, giving her the impression of a lazy cat. Through the silent transmission of emotions, the duke gradually calmed down - "It seems that this probe is not hostile..."

Considering that Elson City had extended the time of the exchange, causing more mages to flock to it, this kind of probe seemed all the less unusual. Sally looked at Alektor, who had already run to the other end of the room, and beckoned him back with some helplessness - it was so active, and its curiosity seemed to be endless, compared to Tisiphone's rules and regulations in front of the fireplace, which was clearly the epitome of a "good student".

"It's going to Elson tomorrow. ”

Sally touched Magella as she stared at the fireplace jumping. She knew that it was not appropriate for her to run directly to Elson like this, but the desire in her heart made her unable to wait for the meeting with Roddy... Before Roddy went to Raciman, he personally promised to have a wedding when he came back.

But why didn't he mention it now? Was it because he was too busy?

This stupid wood's emotional choices always make Sally angry, but who makes himself like such a guy? The guy who fought in the troubled times is supposed to be cold-blooded and ruthless, but he is like a fire in front of him, warming the hearts of many people, and making these people can never leave him again.

The closer she got to Elson, the more apprehensive Sally became. She recalled the scenes where she and Roddy fought side by side, as if it had been a long time ago. Sally didn't know if he would become unfamiliar because she hadn't seen each other for a long time, she would always remember the misunderstanding she had with Roddy at the beginning, and now she thought that there was some childish element in it. But now, as she grows older, the turmoil and entanglement of political affairs make her affectionate, and the mercenary between people leads to indifference - many people seem to be intimate, but the inner distance can be called the opposite...

Could it be that one day I will become like this?

Even though she is out of the age when she can be childish, Sally still has a sense of gain and loss when she approaches Elson. She looked at the fire and unconsciously became distracted, and when she reacted, she found that the three little snakes were curled up around her, obviously sensing something strange and coming over to comfort her.

Seeing this, Sally burst out laughing, holding the "Pit Viper's Kiss", and the original chaotic thoughts were cleared - how could Roddy and her relationship compare to the hypocritical aristocracy?

Thinking of this, Sally breathed a sigh of relief and got up and walked back to the bedroom. I'm going to see him tomorrow, be sure to rest early, don't be laughed at by Roddy with two dark circles under your eyes...

Thinking so, she quickly fell asleep.
