"Sure enough......"

Arnold took a deep breath, now that Tuke Bay can't even enter the powerful navy of the Northway family, how can a mage from Kelsusa enter Tuke Bay safely? The answer to this question can only be one: the movement in Tuke Bay was made by Kelsusa.

Arnold, who was in Vortagen at the time, probably never imagined that a mage he met by chance who would be tricked by cats would be able to provoke such an exaggerated event that would affect the entire empire.

"So, what did you want me to do when you told me about this?" Arnold knew that Ian must have come to him for something this time, and if he just came to tell himself that the person he had met in Vortagan City was the culprit of the Vodahra crisis, then the archmage would not need to foreshadow the previous foreshadowing.

"I would like to know what is going on in Kelsusa, and if you may, please tell me exactly what happened in Vortagen. Ian's expression was very serious, although he still felt pity for his disciple in his heart, he also understood that this incident could not be substituted for personal feelings.

"I try, but to be honest, I don't know much about Winterconling, and you probably know what happened in Vortagen, and I haven't seen him since the riots in the city, so I'm afraid my news won't help you much. ”

Arnold told Ian everything related to Fertagan City and Kelsusa, and his intersection with Krsusa was limited, although he once doubted the identity of the other party, but the other party never revealed his true identity, so in the intersection of Arnold and Krsusa, there is nothing to hide from Ian.

Of course, considering that Ian is the one left by Iscario to spy on him, Arnold still uses as cryptic as possible in the narrative to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"That is, Kelsusa, he ......"

Ian pondered for a moment, his tightly grouped snow-white eyebrows exuding an extraordinarily solemn aura.

"Well, your suspicions at the time were probably correct, and the murders that took place in the city of Vortagen should have been Kelsusa's methods. Just like he showed you at the city gate, Kelsusa has learned almost all of my skills, especially the ice attribute magic in elemental magic, which is his most handy field, although he can't be sure if he hasn't seen the scene, but in the remote city of Vortagen, there will be two people at the level of Krsusa-level who are good at ice magic, I think this kind of thing is extremely unlikely. ”

"I thought so too. Arnold nodded, and although his original suspicion had been confirmed, it no longer made any sense.

"However, he was born in the Blackwater Territory and raised in the Imperial Capital, and I don't understand how he came to be connected to the people of the Vortagan Territory. "As for the interpersonal relationship of his disciples, the archmage does not dare to say that he is 100% clear, but at least he can be sure that his disciples and people thousands of kilometers away cannot have intersections," Perhaps, the Black Stone Palace Minister Rodney you mentioned, may have something to do with what happened to Kelsusa. ”

It is natural for Ian, who doesn't know that Rodney is actually the leader of the Black Sheep Society, to think so, although Mana Blancy is also a high-level demon in the lower realm, but it is definitely not at the level that can make the Demon Lord jealous, so it was not Rodney who caused Kelsusa to disappear to Tuke Bay with a Heart of Frost. But Ian has a point, Kelsusa's birth makes it almost impossible for him to contact the city of Vortagan far east, Rodney will find Krsusa, there must be someone in the match, and the most likely person is Managoda, who operates the Imperial Capital Black Sheep Society.

Even, it is very likely that Managoda had already made a plan to pit Lubigonde before he connected the two, at least, judging from the ending of the Black Sheep Guild under Lubigonde after the Futagan City incident, it can only be said that Managoda is worthy of Mana Brancy, and he is more like a real demon than the Nine Dukes of Hell.

Thinking of this, Arnold felt more and more that the situation in the imperial capital was not as simple as he imagined, and he was afraid that acting rashly would only lead to fire.

"It's very likely, it's just that this person's whereabouts are unknown now, maybe he has already died in the fire of the Black Stone Palace, and now even if we want to investigate, it's too late. ”

Arnold was not at all worried that Ian would go to investigate the whereabouts of Rodney, and the royal family would not allow any of the Archmages of the Council of Sky Mages to escape their control. Therefore, Arnold did not have to worry that his dealings with the demon would be seen through by the archmage.

"Indeed, there is no point in verifying these things now. Ian sighed, the look of frustration and sadness on his face that the long white beard could hide, "There's another thing I want to ask you for." ”

"Tell me. ”

Archmage Ian leaned over and leaned closer, saying, "Kelsusa is a disciple I have cultivated with all my heart, and losing him is more sad to me than losing the Heart of Frost. However, this is only from my personal feelings, for the entire Sky Mage Council, the value of a disciple is not comparable to that of the Frost Heart. Although I am reluctant to think so, from a rational point of view, I must put the treasures of the Council first. ”

"You want to get the Frost Heart back?" Hearing Ian say so much, Arnold quickly analyzed the meaning he wanted to express from the other party's words, "Is there anything I can do?"

"You and Kelthusa came into contact a few months ago, so I would like to be able to use prophecy on you to determine her exact location. Previously, we could only use some of the things left by Kelthusa to use prophecy, but apparently my clever disciple thought that we would be tracked by us, so the more effective items such as clothing had already been disposed of by him, so our prophecy could only have a vague reaction. And now that you have someone who has recently been in contact with him, the prediction should be much more accurate if you track down Kelsusa. ”

Arnold frowned, he would have been tempted to refuse Ian's request if he could. If nothing else, if prophecy discovers its connection to demons, it won't be a joke.

"I've only met with Winter Conling a few times, so I'm not very familiar with it, and it's been a few months, can it be that effective?"

"I didn't want to bother you, but our spells have revealed that you are the person who has been most closely associated with Kelsusa. Ian didn't give up and continued to persuade, "Sullivan is a prophecy technique used against 'Kelsusa' and 'Frost Heart', except for people and things that are very closely related, ordinary things will not appear in the prophetic results. But you are in the prophecy, so we are sure that you and Krsusa must have a deep connection to the Frost Heart, and of course, there will be a deep connection in the future, but in any case, we will not be able to find the Frost Heart without your help. ”

Arnold frowned and sighed slightly, an archmage said this, and he really had no excuse to refuse directly.

"Let me think about it, and you know that prophecy is something that mortals like us have some concerns. ”

"I understand. Ian heard the eviction in Arnold's tone and took the initiative to stand up, "I'm sorry for today, Lord Arnold, thank you very much for your help. ”

"You're welcome, I didn't help you much. Arnold also stood up and accepted Ian's thanks, but his expression was not as enthusiastic as it had been at the beginning, "Please let me send you." ”

After sending Ian away, Arnold went straight back to his room, perhaps because of the troubles that followed, and the exhaustion hit his shoulders, making him lie down on the bed regardless of his demeanor.

"Does a few words with that old man make you so tired?"

As before, Lily appeared silently in Arnold's room. Compared with when she was in Fortagan City, Lily is now more elusive and more cautious, and it can only be said that a place like the imperial capital is different from the Fortagan Territory in the remote countryside, and it is necessary to be cautious.

"Where did you just go?" Arnold squinted, glancing at Lily.

"That old man's magic is too strong, I have to avoid him. Lily frowned, it was clear that Ian Profmo was the figure to be careful about.

"You should have listened to what he said to me, it's a nuisance. Arnold sat up, and it was only him and Lily in the room, so Arnold spoke much more indulgently, "He actually wanted to use prophecy on me, hmph, I wonder if the whole bunch of stories he told me before were made up." No matter how you think about it, this is like Iscario's temptation, and since you can't be completely reassured, you can simply use prophecy to see if I will pose a threat to them in the future. ”

Lily listened silently to Arnold's complaints, from Vortagen to Iron Turin, not only did the climate change in the two places, but it seemed that Lily had also become much calmer and more rational with the temperature outside.

"It sounds likely, but your tone doesn't seem to feel like it. ”

"Because, with regard to Kelsusa Winterconling, what he said did make a lot of sense. Arnold was a little depressed, he was not worried about Kelsusa, but the Frost Heart in Kelsusa's hand, thinking about the combination of Krsusa's taking away the Frost Heart and Kelsusa's vision of Tuke Bay, it was easy to think that Krsusa used the Frost Heart to summon the evil that Yastalus had to fear.

With the three families of Northway, Fegraf and Tamska really being able to withstand something of that level?

"Kelsusa?" Lily raised an eyebrow, "That mage from Vortagen? By the way, that person does seem to have taken something resembling a Frost Heart before......"

"Something like ......that," Arnold remembered Lily's statement, "I remember what you said at the time was that it was a magic crystal that was very close to the Heart of Frost, but not the real Heart of Frost, right?"

"yes. Lily nodded, a little unsure of what Arnold meant.

However, when Ian and I talked, he didn't say this, and judging from his tone and tone, it was obvious that Kelsusa had taken the real Frostheart, not a fake, and that was why he was in such a hurry to get it back. ”

Clearing his mind, Arnold was presented not with the truth, but with a more complex situation.

"Can you be sure that Kelsusa's hand at that time was not the real Heart of Frost? ”

"Of course. Lily pursed her lips with a little dissatisfaction, "Although I haven't seen the real Frost Heart, I still have the ability to distinguish between true and false, and the eyes of the lower realm will not be wrong." ”

"So...... Arnold rubbed his chin and looked more and more solemn, "Ian Profmo really hid something from me, the Sky Mage Council is supposed to be hiding the real Frost Heart, but it wants the outside world to think that the real Frost Heart has been stolen." What exactly do they want to do?"

"It's hard to say...... Lily's gaze darkened, "The Heart of Frost wasn't actually stolen, after all, it was the treasure of the Sky Mage Council, how could it be easily stolen by a disciple." Perhaps, Kelthusa took the Frost Heart and fled as far away as Tuk Bay at the behest of the archmages. ”

Arnold's eyes quickly darkened.
