"To put it another way, we're going to die because we know it's top secret," Kira Veton rubbed the back of her hand, "is that so?"

Malken shrugged slightly, "Perhaps, at first there were only three people who knew about it, the King, the captain of the guard, Nicole, but now it has increased to five, Shuzo and I, and now you are about to know, and before that, you have to swear an oath to keep it a secret forever." (Fengwu Literature Network)"

Tarrant raised his fist to his chest, "In Maxine's name, I will keep it a secret forever." ”

Katrina sat up straight, "...... By my life, it will go to the grave with me. ”

Kira Veton took a sip of dragon wine, "as much as possible," and she found herself the target of her gaze, "Okay, okay, I'm not going to say it." ”

Malken nodded in approval of the oath of the three, "This plan was proposed and implemented by the previous captain, and the content is ......" He looked out the window carefully, and the carriage was driving on the path leading to the fortress area, "Nicole will select a few excellent, strong-willed, and absolutely loyal mages to join the Nagu Wizarding Guild under pseudonyms, looking for opportunities to instigate the mages of the Wizarding Guild to join the Royal Guard, and attract the best talents from the continent to Cerenso." ”

"Bringing the madman to the palace?" laughed Kiraviton, "it's ridiculous, the populace will riot when they hear the news." ”

"No, no, no, it's not a joke," Melken sternly denied, "and what you know about the Wizarding Society is only the few people you meet, and those people are all crazy, and in fact the Wizarding Society is a group of academic discussions, regardless of good or evil, where you can hear the most elite knowledge and ideas of magic." Having access to this knowledge was very important to Selenso, and victory in future wars could be determined by the individual power of a mage. ”

"I agree," said Katrina, full of longing, "their theories and assumptions are far ahead of their time, and it will be rewarding to join such a group." ”

Kira Veton leaned sideways against Katrina, "You're not going to fall in love with that bald head, are you?"

"I'm talking about Jim's knowledge, and his journal contains a great treasure. ”

"So you're in love with him? He can't satisfy a woman at all!"

"It's not love, and it's not about 'satisfaction'...... These are fundamentally two things", argues Katrina.

"Be quiet," Tarrant motioned for the ladies to stop arguing. "How many people have joined the Ancient Wizards' Society?"

"That's exactly what we went to Nicole for. She is the embodiment of the plan, and she is directly responsible for the selection and assignment of personnel, and she knows who betrayed Selenzo and who is the Crystal Heart. ”

The carriage fell silent. They all seem to be imagining the identity of the 'Crystal Heart'.

Tiny raindrops hang on the windows.

"So". Kirawiton couldn't stand the silence. "Katrina, are you in love with a bald head?"

Katrina covered her face, and the topic was disgusting like a swamp.

"This ring ......," Malken immediately noticed, that the ornament on Katrina's ring finger was peculiar.

The mage immediately hid his hand in his robe.

"Ahh Congratulations", Malken patted Tarrant on the shoulder, "it's a shame I'm absent from your wedding, please accept my belated blessing." ”

"I accept your blessings", Kira Veton grabbed Katrina's hand, "we will be happy, if you want to give a gift, it is better to have dragon wine, lots and lots of it." ”

"......" Melken looked at the priest with a sneer, and after a few seconds, he leaned closer to Tarrant and whispered, "When you have time, you explain to me the relationship between the three of you, who is who, I'm a little confused." ”

"Is that the Aurora Tower?" Tarrant noticed a towering tower in front of the carriage.

"Yes, Nicole is there", Malken leaned closer to the window, "It's much more spectacular than the previous watchtower, the Aurora Tower was rebuilt by Nicole Tiyì, she invented a device that can use the height of the tower to enhance the magic monitoring in the city, the king has always valued her, so he quickly agreed to the renovation plan and gave her the project, where Nicole has been living for the long time." ”

"Living in an office, what a responsibility," Tarrant poked his head out, "The newspapers just say that the Aurora Tower is a watchtower." ”

"The newspaper also says Wilsin is the safest city, hahaha," Malken patted his thigh, "it's ridiculous, no fool would believe it." ”

Kira Veton said coldly, "I believe it." ”

"I believe it too," Catrina uncharacteristically agreed.

To show the tacit understanding between his teammates, Tarrant nodded with his head, "It's really the safest city." ”

The carriage was quiet again.

The carriage was blocked by a garrison, and "no passage ahead!" a soldier shouted.

Malken pushed the door open, "Ladies, ahead is a construction camp, and the horse team is not allowed to enter. ”

Kira Veton jumped out of the car, "The breeze, the drizzle, the wine, the graceful companion, it's romantic", she reached out and led Katrina out, "Honey, do you like this?"

"No", Katrina looked up at the scaly black clouds, the raindrops seemed to weave a thin cobweb on her face, this kind of scene in heroic stories usually means the coming of a decisive battle, "the sky is burning, the thunder is annihilated in the ancient fury screams, the earth trembles......"

"This is not Fernando's battlefield", Tarrant scanned the area around the Aurora Tower, there were mound-high bricks piled up everywhere under the walls, the new gate was not decorated, the ground was covered with footprints and mud, the soldiers of the four Royal Guards were waiting at the entrance of the tower, and there were vigilante garrisons fifty feet to the left and right of the Aurora Tower, a joint defense area, and an elite army stationed outside the city.

"Nicole up there?" Malken asked one of the guardsmen.

"Yes, sir. ”

"Please", Malken invited the team in.

The renovation inside the tower has been almost completed, each floor is double the size of the original, and the view opens up as the number of floors rises, Tarrant looks at the night view outside the city walls, "I remember it was originally seven floors. ”

"Yes, it's the ninth floor now," Mailn pointed to both sides, "and you can see all the roads outwardly, and almost the whole of the capital from the inside." ”

"Over there, the Academy?" said Katrina, looking at the towering buildings in the Dark City.

"Yes, the Institute used to be the tallest tower, but not anymore, please," said Malken, continuing upwards.

"I smell the food," Kiraweton sniffed, "it's like Gilu." ”

"There are no royal guards or security forces under the castle on the island of Gilu," Tarrant pointed down, "Aside from the Royal Palace, this is the safest place in the Serenso. ”

"Here we are," said Malken, stopping at the eighth-story doorway, which was fitted with a rudimentary wooden door.

"Look!" said Kira Veton, standing briskly beside Malken, "a wooden door that can be kicked in with one kick." ”

"Calm down!" Tarrant regretted giving her the dragon wine, and she looked excited.

"Don't kick it, ma'am," said Malken, turning the handle to open the door, "dear, here I go again." ”

"Welcome", a sweet female voice came from inside the door.

"I thought we were going to meet a fifty-year-old, like Culpeber," Tarrant whispered to Katrina beside her, "Did Malcoln tell her age?"

"It seems...... No. ”

"Hopefully there won't be a bald head!" said Kira Veton, following the door.

A blonde girl in tulle pajamas stood by the windowsill with her back to the doorway, holding a miniature model of a tower in her hand, four long tables were set up in a room with limited space, drawings, books, pens, measuring instruments, strange tools took up all the tables, "No more steaks, see what else can be done for me", the girl continued to fiddle with the piece of metal, "I'm dying of hunger." ”

"I should have the cook bring dinner over," said Malken, who walked familiarly to the wall and opened a wooden cabinet, "you have to be careful dear, you are so important to me, I don't want to hear any bad news about you." (To be continued......)
