Chapter 49: The Secret Letter (II)
Because his heart was filled with irrepressible joy - his adopted son Clement was about to return with his "dream wings"!
That wing is his contract with the Cartels, and joining their system is much less constrained than the Syndicate, and he will be able to grow the entire city of Sarn and the surrounding areas into a large empire.
And Clement should also bring a lot of unique skills from the Cartel Federation, which will be of great benefit to the development and growth of the Wizards Council of Sarn!
Perhaps it will be written in future history: from this day on, the founder of the Griff dynasty ascended - the first step of his journey!
Like a child about to be rewarded like an elder, the old Wizard Griff tried his best to hold back the smile on his rosy face, and walked up the staircase of the throne alone.
Waving his sleeves, he turned to stand in front of the jewel-encrusted throne, looking back at the dozen or so high wizards and more generals and officials at the bottom of the steps.
Griff glanced at them and saw that all the High Wizards in Sarn who had mastered Tier 7 and above were here - except for Hamlet!
Alas~~ Hamlet, the fear of aging and death has deprived you of all your previous ambitions?
I heard that you have recently been fooled around by a wild wizard from a mountain nest, and it is really useless!
I'm afraid you're still thinking about how to get yourself a young body!
But ~ it's your appearance that makes me feel that you are not a credible person who will covet my rights, maybe this is the best of both worlds.
Griff shook his head abruptly, and sat down on his "glorious throne" with a solemn face, waiting for Clement's arrival.
......
Darsk led the people all the way with great ambition, and there were not a moment of delay, and there were many tourists wandering the streets like a festival.
Pedestrians hurriedly avoided it, making chickens and dogs jump for a while.
His men could only reach the outer perimeter of the council as guards, and he himself went straight to the entrance to the parliament building.
The leader of the army did not even stop his horse, but with one hand the saddle flew to the ground, and directly grabbed the sleeve of a wizard dressed as a wizard with his back to him at the door of the council.
He asked, "Where is Lord Griff now?"
I saw that the gray-haired old wizard slowly turned around, and said very kindly and calmly: "It turned out to be Dusk~ Don't worry, don't worry, take your time." Mistress Griff was inside waiting to welcome his son, Clement. ”
As soon as Dusk recognized the other party's identity, he immediately seemed relieved.
Gabriel is a good old man, and he usually has no prejudice against martial artists, and he is Lord Griff's most trusted right-hand man like Lord Hamlet, and their pursuit of their own quality of life or research hobbies is far greater than the desire to fight for power, so the other party should be the most trustworthy person.
He said to Old Wizard Gabriel with a little reassurance, "I have a very urgent matter, and I must see Master Griff at once." ”
Gabriel smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry." Young people don't always be in a hurry to do things~, there are many people in the council hall, and it is inconvenient for you to break in directly, I will send someone to notify the supreme wizard first, or let me take you to the side hall to wait for him. ”
The other party beckoned to a special wizard guard inside a nearby wizarding council.
When the wizard guard came, he patted the other man on the shoulder and said, "This General Dusk has something important to do, and he wants to see Speaker Griff immediately, so you go and report it first." I'll take him to the side hall and wait~"
After speaking.
The guard glanced at Dusk with an unchanging expression, nodded yes, and trotted away.
Darker followed Gabriel up dozens of steps into the hallway leading to the council chamber.
Then.
A man walked out of the corner of the street in the distance.
The man had black hair and black robes, a square forehead and a broad face, and a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth - it was Chen Xuyuan, who had been paying attention to this matter.
Master Chen followed them from the military camp in the suburbs, and it was only a little more than ten kilometers away, which was still a piece of cake for him who was skilled in light skills.
It's just that he has to be careful enough not to be noticed by anyone on the road, this is the key, after all, he is here to get out of trouble, not to get into more trouble.
Fortunately, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps and flying dust of the march of the large number of warriors muffled all the surrounding movements, so he didn't need to put too much effort into hiding his tracks.
Chen Xuyuan's eyes still couldn't help but glance at the guards at the entrance of the council from a distance, and muttered to himself: "There is something wrong here, the guards at the door don't seem to be trying to block the people outside, but many people often cast their eyes on the inside of the council building, more like arranging an airtight cage to catch the trapped beasts inside, which is not like what the guards have to do." “
"But forget it, there is no need to delve into things that are not related to others, and you are asking for trouble in vain. No one should be paying attention to me for a while. ”
After speaking, he retreated into the depths of the alley and left.
Dusk was unable to resist Gabriel's enthusiastic talk, so he had to follow him all the way into the depths of the council building, looking around anxiously inwardly - the tight arrangement of the interior of the council.
Just as he was approaching the side hall of the council, it was a relatively remote, quiet corner on the edge of the building.
I saw two wizard guards in rune leather armor waiting around the corner of the narrow passage.
But there was a hint of hideousness in that look that couldn't be concealed!
Darker slowed down his pace and quietly grasped the hilt of his sword with his left hand, ready to test the other party's intentions by speaking.
Suddenly, there was a soft "snort".
The samurai leader felt only a chill in his vest, and a curved blade like the tail of a pit viper peeked through his chest.
For a while, all kinds of terrifying thoughts and illusions rushed like a tide!
He fell to his knees weakly, turned his neck slowly as if rusty, and jumped away a few meters away from the old Gabriel behind him with extraordinary agility, and said with the last bit of strength he retained: "So neatly stretch out your hand~ This is the dagger of the Serpentine Phantom Killer...... You are the same as the masked Phantom thief who robbed the wealthy merchants thirty years ago...... What is the relationship ......?"
The spell on this Phantom Killer's dagger can make the recipient's three souls and seven spirits be attacked by terrifying spiritual illusions, ranging from insane on the spot to sudden death!
Moreover, after being fixed on the weapon, it pierces into the enemy's body, and even any protective spell items cannot resist on its behalf.
This spell acts on the body, and it is several times more difficult to avoid than normal external spell attacks.
It's really a must-have for home travel!
