Chapter Ninety-Six: The Verge

After staying with the mages for several days, the knights were no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning, and they all lay down in their tents to rest, and there were mages monitoring the surrounding movements in every direction on the periphery of the camp, so that the knights did not have to worry about being attacked. The rest of the knights outside the ruins joined Stan with their captives, and returned the captives to the mages who had regained some of their senses. Wright didn't come along, and Tirin and Ulf went into the woods to bring the other knights to the ruins, where Tirin gave Wright a small bag of gold coins and told him to return to the northern part of the rainforest first, he had done his job so well that there was no need to venture with them into the mages.

The two groups were not at peace, and after getting acquainted with each other, Tirin would sometimes go to drink with a few mages and roll the dice, and later, several knights could not bear it and joined them. Whenever a group of people threw their heads together and yelled, Magill would drink impatiently.

Stan smiled and sat down next to the Captain Knight and patted him. "It's been hard enough for them to get here, and they don't know what danger will be in the future, so let them relax. ”

"These guys. Magill shook his head, a look of anxiety on his face. "Our task is still at a loss, and they still have the mind to relax. ”

"The Sacred Seal is here, but do you have a way to find it and take it?" Nerfi sat quietly to the side, her eyes closed. "Ramakhsh's strength and prestige are second only to Etiyesh in the Mage Tower, and that Sagunar is also ruthless, and if the two of them join forces, even if Adeline is here, he will be afraid of three points. ”

Stan looks into the distance and sees Ramahesh in front of the tent not far away, where he sits in the same position every day, only going into the tent at night, which Stan finds strange. "Why doesn't Ramakhsh go into the tent during the day, is there something wrong with it? If the Holy Seal is inside, I'm sure I won't come out every day. He asked Nerfi.

Nerfi also looked at the white tent, which was obviously much larger than the usual single tent, which could sleep almost five people, and what was even more strange was the long rope that radiated from the top of the tent. "I think it's kind of like a magic circle. ”

Hearing Nerfi say this, Stan remembers the circle of dozens of tents he had seen at Dagger Mountain. "Yes, I've seen similar circles before. ”

Nerfi gives Stan a surprised look, but doesn't ask too much. "In order to defend against the Twilight Cult, patrols and enchantments are not enough, a powerful circle is a must. ”

Magill finished his drink and smacked his lips. "When the Twilight Cult finds the person they're looking for, they'll know if the circle will work. ”

As soon as the knight captain's words fell, a strange explosion was heard in the distance, and everyone nervously raised their heads to look in the direction where the explosion sounded, only to see a wisp of green smoke rising into the sky.

Sagunar ran over from nowhere, discussed a few words with Ramakhsh, and immediately rushed to the direction of the explosion with a few mages, while the others exchanged their heads and ears uneasily, waiting for news from Sagunar. The mages who were still playing dice just now were not in the mood to play anymore and sat aside, and the knights returned to the captain.

Ulf's gaze swept over the faces of several mages. "You look at their expressions, they are obviously full of uneasiness, and some of them are even afraid, they must have had some terrible experience. ”

"Of course, have you forgotten what you saw in the Sweet Rainforest?" said Tilling, tucking the dice into his inner pocket. "Many of these mages look younger than us, and it's normal for them to be scared. ”

Crashing and popping sounds continued to be heard from a distance, and Magir also stood up and walked in front of Ramakhsh. "Is it the Twilight Cult that has attacked, don't we have to do something?"

Ramakhsh was not flustered, and replied slowly, "Don't worry, wait for news from Sagunar." ”

Magill tries to say something, but Stan pulls him back. "Don't forget, we can make our own decisions and not have to listen to them. ”

The knight captain's eyes lit up. "If you don't say it, I'll forget. He immediately turned around and called Ulf over. "You go with me to see, the others are waiting here. After saying that, the two of them disappeared as soon as they slipped through the smoke.

The sound of the distant magical battle reached its peak, then gradually thinned out, and after another ten minutes or so, Sagunar was the first to rush back, followed by several mages carrying his wounded companions, and two knights also helping to carry two back.

Under Sagunar's arrangement, the wounded mages were laid flat on the ground, and several mages in pale gray mage robes were immediately healed by them, and Sagunar squatted down beside Ramakhsh and reported to him. Stan and Magill also leaned in, Sagunar alertly stopped narrating, and Ramakhsh waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to hide it, and the middle-aged mage continued. Sagunar did not say for long, and after the debriefing, he immediately left, according to the order of Ramakhsh, he needed to go to each patrol point and set up something.

Stan and Magill return to the group of knights, both of whom are not looking good, and Tiring gives Magill a contemptuous glance. "Just say what's going on, we can handle it. ”

Magir glared at Tirin and pulled out his bottle. "Looks like the Twilight Cult's general attack is coming. ”

Nerfi suddenly opened her eyes. "Did they catch it...... That person?"

Stan rubs his hands uneasily. "This is the only explanation, they have found that person, and then they can release the dark lord as long as they get the holy seal again, and we are in a very dangerous situation. ”

"These mages aren't vegetarians either, I saw that they were quite capable just now, and they seemed to have the upper hand and repelled the other party. Ulf glanced at the mages who were lying on the ground moaning. "Although the other side is also strong, it should only be a strategic retreat. ”

"That's right, it was just a tentative attack, they will come again, and the attack will definitely be stronger. Stan subconsciously touched the scabbard. "Maybe next time it's going to be a general attack, maybe not, just another temptation, but one thing is for sure, from now on, we've all got to be ready. ”

Ted still doesn't understand why Stan is so nervous. "Is there any powerful mage on the other side? Nerfi just said that Ramakhsh is a mage second only to the Great Sage, so we don't need to be so nervous. ”

"Because it's very likely that the other side has more powerful characters, otherwise the two sides can fight so badly in the jungle?" Nerfi glanced at the mage who was still being treated. "And as you can see, we are now surrounded, which means that the other side is stronger than the Mage Tower. ”

Stan pondered, then looked up confused. "I have a question, why don't you say that Etiyesh didn't personally participate in such an important matter? ”

Nerfi tilted her head in thought. "I also think it's strange, can he still sit in the mage tower at this time?"

"Just ask?" Magill scrambled to his feet, walking towards Ramahesh before Stan could hold him.

Stan saw that he couldn't hold him anymore, so he had to wink at Nerfi, and the two followed.

Magir sat down beside the old mage, regardless of whether he was resting or not. "Ramakhsh, why didn't the Grand Sage of the Mage Tower, Etiye, come with him, is he so confident that you can deal with the Twilight Cult?"

Ramakhsh glanced at the knight, then saw Stan and Nerfi walking forward. "It's not surprising that you can think of that, but I'm not going to tell you the answer. ”

"Why? We're in the same boat now. Magill's face contorted with anger.

"I don't know what you're thinking, I agreed to join forces with you just because you can strengthen our defenses. Ramakhsh said lightly, not looking at the Knight Captain. "Of course, I won't stop you if you want to leave. ”

"Damn!" Magir cursed, and walked away in anger.

Stan and Nalfi were still standing in place, and Nalfi leaned down and whispered, "This tent isn't any ordinary tent. ”

Ramakhsh suddenly turned his head to look at Nerfi. "As the commander of these people, what's wrong with me living in a bigger tent?"

"It's so hot outside, I don't think you'll object to letting the lady in and resting. With that, Stan is about to lift the curtain.

"Don't move!" Ramakhsh's voice suddenly became stern, and his languid body sat up straight. "If you don't want to get in trouble, don't try to peek inside. ”

Stan's hand gripped the canvas curtain and looked hesitantly at Nerfi, who shook his head slightly and turned to walk towards the knights. Stan reluctantly glances at the curtain and feels as if something is glowing in the tent, but Nerfi is gone, and he has to give up.

Ramakhsh glanced at Sagunar, and the middle-aged mage quickly walked over to the old mage and crouched down. "What are your commands?"

"Starting tonight, cast an enchantment outside the tent and send four people to guard it. Ramakhsh instructed quietly, his eyes still looking ahead.
