If there really was a threat of this magnitude in the wilderness, it would have been discovered and cleared long ago. On the side of the couch, how can you accommodate others? The five leaders of the Tower will not sit idly by.

Moreover, Silent Hill is a place of "hunting time", and if there is an anomaly in this area, it will inevitably lead to accidents, and they will not be unaware. This event is held to train young wizards, not to send them to their deaths.

"The emissaries of the Rhine Kingdom were separated before entering the desert of the wilderness, due to the fact that they encountered swarms of death worms there."

The one who spoke was Marion Green, the oldest and most numerous wizarding leader of the Tallest School, who was as skilled in the natural realm as Longman Hall. Some believe that he was even a member of Steppenwolf since the beginning of the tower, and if that were the case, his actual age might have been over a thousand years old.

As soon as the old man's words fell, the eyes of the remaining few people were all focused on the blonde young man.

“…… Ah, sorry. ”

Mr. Evelyn's expression was a little embarrassed.

"When I came back, I forgot to visit the little ones, and for the time being they had to forage for food. Heck, there's no way to occasionally attack the surrounding caravans or robbers or the like, just like humans need to eat and drink, just to survive. ”

“……”

It seems that the one who attacked the emissary and caused the two groups to disperse was undoubtedly Mr. Evelyn's pet. Next, the main group was brought to the tower by Marion Green, while the remaining group led by the fat nobles were met by Longman Hall. Encountering a "death worm" in the long desert, Richard thought, didn't sound like a pleasant experience.

"However, in order to retain the original ecological traits adapted to the desert environment, those death worms are prototypes that have not been transformed by my spells, and the threat to people is not high, at least for the three professionals who have reached the 'master level'."

"That's true." The old man nodded, "The encounter with the Desert Worm only separated the members of the Emissary Corps, and what really trapped them was a large demon lair that they encountered later. ”

"There's still a big lair in that place?" Longman Hall frowned, "How the hell did the group of people I brought with me escape?" ”

"Impossible."

Mr. Evelyn shook his head with a serious expression.

"I inspected the place a year before the trip and it didn't have the conditions to grow a large nest. The nests that once had the potential to grow have been thoroughly cleaned. Unless there have been new changes in the environment in the past few years, the appearance of anomalies of this magnitude is certainly not a natural occurrence. ”

"That's a good point."

Marion Green's jaw.

"According to the group of emissaries who were rescued, the lair had left on its own before I arrived. It's not uncommon for wild demon lairs to move, but judging by the signs left at the scene, I suspect it's more like manipulation. ”

"A manipulative 'large demonic lair'?" Richard compared the database in his head and said in a deep voice. “…… Isn't that the 'legion'? ”

Beyond the definition of danger, with an army of artificial demons capable of destroying a nation and a powerful leader, this is the [Legion], and it is one of the highest achievements in the field of life to date.

For a while, no one answered his questions, and the atmosphere of the fireside meeting became slightly oppressive. If there really is a legion in the Silent Ridge, it means that there is likely to be a shadow of a legendary wizard behind it, which is a challenge for the true owner of this wild land.

“…… In any case, neither Mr. Green nor Mr. Hall took the initiative to contact the Rhine Kingdom, did you? ”

"It doesn't do us any good for them to die near the Magic Tower for no reason." Longman Hall's brown pupils flickered with coldness, "Don't you think so?" ”

"Don't worry, I know better than everyone here about the 'Escape Treaty' signed by the Three Towers of the Stars," Mr. Green said with a smile, "Even if you can't take the initiative to intervene, since the other party has taken the initiative to send it to the door, it's not a bad thing to occasionally listen to the thoughts of people on the ground, isn't it?" ”

The blonde youth shrugged and spread his hands.

"Don't point the finger at me. Personally, I am a supporter of communion with the earthly kingdom. That's good for the younger generation of students, the older stalwarts, or most of the people in the tower, or even for us. ”

"But now it seems that some people are not willing to sit idly by and ignore this possibility."

Mr. Hall said.

"They may be afraid, or they may be afraid of us......"

"Who the hell is it?"

"Who knows. Are there still fewer enemies in the magic tower? ”

"No, no, no, I think even if someone is behind the scenes, it may not be us, right? Let's not forget that the object of their real action is the emissary corps of the southern nobility, not us. It could be a conservative within the Kingdom of the Rhine, or simply a ...... A coincidence. ”

"Coincidence?"

Longman Hall narrowed his eyes with a skeptical expression.

"The queen of the Rhine kingdom has been cursed, and it has not been resolved until now. Neither the Flamel family nor the bishop of the diocese of Saint-Michel can help it, you know what that means, right? Mr. Evelyn blinked, "A dark wizard with the power to drive such a powerful and terrible curse...... In this day and age, where else can such a dangerous person be tolerated? ”

"You mean ...... 'reverse cross'?"

Mr. Green retracted his smile. It was a name that even he could not take lightly.

"That's right, it's them." Mr. Evelyn snapped his fingers. "A group of cultists, dark wizards, world-class criminals, lunatics, and madmen, the most dangerous group in the world."

"You've heard from the nobles, who came here to ask us to undo the curse on the queen. Although we all know that this is just an excuse, it is not so for outsiders. Perhaps it was the Dark Wizard's companion who enslaved the legion to deal with the delegation in the wilderness, and his purpose was to prevent the group from coming into contact with the Magic Tower Wizards, even if it was just in case, they didn't want anyone to find a solution to the curse......"

"And when Mr. Green 'passed', the other party quickly evacuated. This shows that the other side does not have the idea of clashing with us head-on. This is a smart move, because everyone knows that the real owner of this wilderness is Steppenwolf. ”
