It was dark outside the tower, and it was another night, and all three of them were sitting in the hut except Ness and Hussey. The fireplace in the room was crackling with firewood, and the three of them had made hot tea and were sitting in large chairs sipping hot tea and chatting.

Fern and Stan are chatting about the past of the former Crows, and Stan asks most about Lil. From Fern's words, Stan learns that Lil is a very honest girl who can give up everything for the sake of her beloved, and that everything that happens in the source of magic proves that what Fern said is true.

Rui also asked about some trivial things about the Crows, and Fern could see what was on her mind. "Is it a person who feels lonely and wants to find a mercenary group to try?"

Rui didn't admit it because of his face, "The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, if every mercenary group has a few people like Will, I can't stand it." ”

Both Fern and Stan burst out laughing. "Doesn't that mean you're attractive? Besides, it's just Will's habit, but he's still very upright at heart. ”

"But I also think that there are indeed drawbacks to too many mercenary groups, and maybe there will be a traitor. Stan spoke up his mind, but immediately realized that he was speaking too seriously. "Oh, Fern, don't care, I'm just talking about things. ”

Fern smiled kindly. "It's okay, you have a point, it's better to keep the squad. ”

Stan looked at Fern and Ray, then at Ness, and said with a smile, "I think the four of us are a good combination, and when we help Ness finish the trial, we might as well set up a mercenary team of our own to punish evil and help good in Wallis." ”

Fern and Rui looked at each other and smiled heartily. "Let's wait until we pass the trial, Ness's trial is not easy. Fern sighed.

Just then, Ness and Hussey walked up to them. "Alright, I've talked to Ness, now let's have dinner, and I'll tell you why you need to leave here as soon as possible. ”

Dinner was simple but plentiful, with crispy bread coated in butter, potato wedges tossed with spicy grass leaves, and grilled lamb chops sprinkled with cumin, as Fern and his companions began to feast. After a stormy pause, Hussey coughed, caught everyone's attention, and began to tell.

"After you've eaten this dinner, you have to leave, get out of here, out of Wolfsburg. Although Hussey had done the foreshadowing before, it was still a little surprising for everyone to say it now.

Stan was the first to ask, "Why are you in such a hurry? I think we should rest for a night to recover from the injuries we sustained at the source of magic, and as you said, we need to recuperate for a while." ”

Hussey took a sip of the hot tea in front of him, the aroma of which filled the room with the heat. "Yes, you do need to recuperate, but this is also a helpless move, you can only try not to use too much strength and energy, and try to protect your body. Hussey then put down his teacup and looked at Stan as he continued, "Wolfsburg isn't a safe place, there are some secrets you don't know about, and some I haven't fully figured out. ”

A roar rang out in Stan's head, and Byron's conversation with the mysterious woman jumped into his head again, leaving the knight speechless for a moment.

Rui broke the momentary silence, "Did you perceive something, what kind of secret?"

Hessey nodded in the affirmative, "Yes, I've been here for two years, and in those two years, I've learned some things, maybe you don't know......" Hesey shifted his body, ready to continue. "The reason why the Mage Tower has sent mages to guard this tower, and they are all very qualified archmages, is because the source of magic is indeed unpredictable, but there is another reason. ”

"Is it spying on Doyle?" said Fern as he guessed.

"That's right!" Hussey's reply surprised everyone in the room. "Doyle has been Wallis's northern mirror against the dark tide for hundreds of years, and is respected by all Wallisians, but because of this, its responsibility is too great, and if any mistake occurs, Wallis will be in a desperate crisis, and the Mage Tower has been trying to avoid this from happening. ”

"So, what kind of secret is it?" Rui asked again.

Hessey sighed, as if he didn't know what to say next, and finally, he shook his head and continued, "I found that in the castle of Wolfsburg, there is a dark force surging, since they can exist here, then they must have Byron's permission, that is to say......" Hessey paused, crossed his hands on his lips, "What deal did Byron make with this dark force. ”

Stan moved uneasily in his chair, stammering a little, "Actually, I heard something in the castle, I ...... I didn't have the courage to say it. Stan recounted all the conversations he had heard between Byron and the mysterious woman, and leaned back in his chair with relief.

Fern and Rui glanced at each other, but neither said anything. The mercenary pats Stan on the shoulder. "Thank you for telling us this, Stan, it takes quite a bit of courage. ”

Hussey also nodded to Stan in thanks. "Your words confirm my suspicions, I don't know exactly where this dark force came from, but I think the fall of Sara must have something to do with them. ”

Rui sat up straight, leaned forward, and stared at Hussey. "What else is hidden in Sarah's fall?"

Hessey glanced at Rui and waved his hand to signal the mage not to get too excited. "I'm just guessing, there's no evidence yet, but if my guess is correct, then Byron must have known that Sara was going to fall, but he didn't come to the rescue. ”

Ness let out an exclamation of disbelief. "All of this is so unbelievable, Doyle, it's the hero country of all Wallis!"

"Yes, that's why I haven't reported it to the Mage Tower, because I haven't found evidence yet, and if I did, Wallis would be in chaos again. Hessey took his tea and moistened his throat, "It is conceivable that if this were true, the whole order of Wallis would be rewritten, so I must be foolproof." ”

This time, no one took Hessey's words, and everyone was shocked by what Hussey said.

The firewood in the fireplace was burning brightly, and the shadow of the fire was fluttering on everyone's faces.

Seeing that no one had reacted, Hessey continued, "The reason why I am telling you this is that I hope you will be able to avoid the danger from Doyle on your future journey, and at the same time be able to discover the truth behind it. ”

Rui pulled the hair that was scattered on his cheeks back and sorted out his emotions. "And what do you mean by the forces of darkness?"

Hussey frowned in embarrassment and touched his beard. "They used to be our colleagues, however, they chose the path of evil. ”
