"Hmph, magic. Fan Cai didn't believe the other party's nonsense, even though the legendary magic heir Goliath was Delia's own sister. In fact, Fan really doesn't believe in the existence of magic, and in his heart, these things are just tricks to deceive people.

"That's right, it's magic, don't you know that the leader of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment, the 'Pillar Priest', is the heir of the mage?" Marcus explained as he took out some food, "Since you are the heir of the mage, of course you can cultivate plants that attack people and manipulate dead corpses!"

"Unless I see it with my own eyes, it is impossible to convince me of magic, mages. Patrick knew that there were enchanted weapons and that there were living weapons, but the mysterious and unknowable thing about magic had been kept only in ancient books, and there was no trace of the living people except Golia, who claimed to be the heir of the mage.

Avi saw from the memories of the spar tomb that there were only three so-called mage heirs, namely Bennicott, who had been imprisoned in the spar, Delia's sister Golia, and a man named "Cat's Eye".

However, Marcus's next words immediately refuted Avi's idea, "There used to be an old man, he was the only one left on the continent who could do magic, and he originally planned to seal the last magic on this continent, but his son, that is, the current leader of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment, the Pillar Priest."

Squad Leader Leonard immediately said, "I've heard that the Pillar Priest killed his father and took all the books on magic!"

Marcus shook his head, he said: "Your version is definitely wrong, my version is the real truth, don't make a mess!" Leonard quickly shut up after hearing this, he himself is hearsay, and Marcus is the squadron leader, he doesn't dare to interrupt the other party again, "That pillar priest is also the son of the old man, and secretly kept part of the magic books that the old man intends to destroy, and that part is about how to manipulate the dead body, of course, he also took some other books, but no one knows what they are." ”

As he listened, Feder remembered what his father had told him about magic.

His father, Faulkner, once told Fald that there was magic in this world, but neither the mage nor the magic was far away from Fed, and there was no need to think about it - and Faulkner also mentioned that even if magic reappeared in the world, it would not be possible to stop the troubled times, let alone end them. In the end, it must be the ruler of the Kingdom of Salins who will bring the continent back to peace and unity, and only after the regular army of the Kingdom of Salins defeats all the enemy countries, can the world return to normal.

At that time, Feder did not agree with his father's words, he was at the mercy of his father since he was a child, and at that time Feder only felt that his father's intention in saying these words was to make himself loyal to the kingdom, and when he grew up, he could join the kingdom's regular army, and even inherit Faulkner's position as the commander - but those things happened before his father was demoted to a commoner by King Byron, and the Knights of the Iron Wall were long gone.

Ayana stood in the distance, scouting around, she didn't seem interested in any magic, and Marcus's brother, Matthews, sat on the ground like a child, listening to Marcus's story.

"And then?"

"Then the old man was afraid that his son would lead the continent into a whirlpool of chaos, he knew his son's ambitions, so he didn't pass on the magic he knew to the Pillar Priest in the first place," Marcus cleared his throat, he felt a sense of accomplishment when everyone gathered around him and listened to him carefully and quietly, "Later, the Pillar Priest wanted to kill his father, but the old man escaped at the most dangerous time. ”

Avida believed more in the version of the story that Marcus had said, because if what Leonard said was correct, then it would be impossible for the old man to pass on the magic to the three mage heirs, but Marcus's next words made him doubt the version of the story that the other party was telling.

After the old man survived, he found a little girl from nowhere, took her as his true heir, and taught her everything he had learned in his life, hoping that she would be able to fight against his son. ”

"No, I heard the version as if there were three mage heirs, not just one. Leonard unconsciously interrupted, and the version he said immediately refuted what he had just said.

"Well, that's what I heard, and that little girl is now the Holy Maiden of the Theoguna Empire, High Priestess Golia. So these green-stemmed plants and that book are most likely the things of the pillar priest. Marcus hurriedly finished his story, and he only knew a little about the rumors of the past.

"Alright, let's go back to the old woman's house," he put away the old book on how to cultivate these green-stemmed plants, "This nest has both mature and juvenile bodies, and we have found the book, and I believe that those green-stemmed plants have been wiped out quite a bit, and even if they exist in other places, the experience we have gained will be enough to deal with them." ”

His subordinates all agreed, after all, they were mercenaries, and they could get paid as long as they completed the tasks assigned by their employers, so there was no need to delve into some things.

The eight of them walked back along the same path, and when they passed the pond, they found that the bonfire there had not been extinguished, probably because Nur had come back once, and then added a little firewood.

As Feyde and his party walked to the back of the old woman's house, they heard Korth's shouts.

"They're back!"

Noor and Greif both came out of one of the old woman's dilapidated rooms, while Coth sat in the courtyard with a torch in her hand.

Noor stepped forward and told Fidd that Franklin was taking care of Blake in the cabin, but strangely the old woman named Kulan was gone.

Feder and the others immediately went to inspect the three rooms, which were dilapidated and shabby, and contained nothing but basic necessities.

"That old man won't be killed by green-stemmed plants, will he?" Big-nosed Fan remembered Bowen who had been swept away, and who knew if those disgusting things would not even spare a wrinkled-skinned old woman?

Fei De also had no clue about the disappearance of the old woman, and it stands to reason that the old woman should live in his own home, but he was not sure that the old woman would definitely spend the night here, after all, there were those dangerous plants in this area, and it was not surprising that the old woman might hide somewhere else.

He then briefly told the people who had stayed here what had happened along the way, and then he took out the book and showed it to the Quesses.

"Could it be that the old woman is the one who cultivated these green-stemmed plants?!" she called out as she glanced at the book a few times.
