Fern walked straight to the outside of Rui's room, and was about to knock on the door, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the door of the next room opening a crack, and Rui showed half of his head, beckoning him to pass. Fern looked around to make sure no one saw him, and then quickly slipped into the room.

"Is this your room?" asked Fern, puzzled.

Rui put his index finger to his lips and closed the door behind his back, then stood with his back against the door for half a minute before slowly walking to the chair and sitting down. "You're not mistaken, it's just that we can't talk in my room, my room is being monitored. ”

"Hell, it was exactly what I expected. Fern paced back and forth in the room, the mage's room was much more spacious than the apprentice's, and the mercenary couldn't have walked a few steps if he was in the apprentice's room.

"Everyone you've had to do is under surveillance, Ness, me, Quiai, but luckily my shadow magic allowed me to sneak here, and the mage who lives here has a mission out and won't be back for a month. Rui said lightly, as if being watched was not something to worry about.

Fern paced as he looked at Ray. "Do you have any ideas? Now only you and Quiai can help me, and even Ness, I don't dare to turn to her for help. ”

Rui motioned for the mercenary to sit on a chair across from him. "If you go any further, I'm going to get dizzy. After Fern sat down helplessly, the mage continued. "I can perceive that Etiyès did not need the wand to seal it away, but rather to use it, and I guess he had the same purpose as Adeline. ”

"Why? Are these great sages crazy?" said Fern, slamming the table excitedly.

"Quiet, Fern, do you want people outside to hear what we're talking about here?" Rui glared at the mercenary angrily. "Really, I'm not going to do this. The mage sighed, but continued. "Ness has told me that Aetiyesh and Fabioso have been trying to tap into the potential of the Elementals in her, and that they are planning to develop some high-level magic that only the Ancient Elementals would use, and I can't think of a reason to do so other than to deal with the Dark Lord. ”

"Isn't that dangerous? No, I'm going to take her with me and get out of here. Fern frowned, touching his chin.

"Don't be stupid, Fern, you said it yourself, you don't even dare to ask for help except Quiai and me, because you know that she would rather listen to the Great Sage and her mentor than you. Rui clasped his hands on his chest. "She won't go with you, even if she believed my speculations, she wouldn't go with you, and in fact, I'm sure she'll be able to guess from the recent guidance she needs from what Etiyesh needs her to do. ”

"Hell, why is she so stupid? Etiyesh is clearly using her to face the Dark Lord, I can't imagine that I must take her out of here, even if she doesn't want to. Fern stood up suddenly, as if he had made a decision.

Rui looked at the mercenary fiercely. "Sit down for me, do you want to test the power of dark magic?"

Fern glared at her and sat back in his chair helplessly. "Then what do you say, unless you can convince me, I will definitely take Ness with me, even if I knock her unconscious and put her on horseback. ”

Rui stood up and walked to the window. "Ness told me that in two days she would go to the border of Chavanna with Etiyesh and Fabioso, where there was a lake nearby where they could use the power of the water element, and that they should not be back that day, and that you could leave the place that night. ”

"You think they won't let me go, too?" Fern sat in his chair, his body straight.

"Obviously, and they don't want us to talk, and Etiyesh doesn't trust me, and I'm afraid there's only one of us who can reassure him. Rui looked out the window, helplessness in his eyes.

"Then you can come with me, Stan will be waiting for me in Canrito, and we can get away from here together, and of course, Quiai. Fern paused. "I'll talk to Ness once and find a way to get her to come with us. ”

"That's obviously impossible, she wasn't in the Mage Tower that day, and as I already said, she won't go with you. Rui looked back at the mercenary with no emotion in his eyes.

"So that's what you can do? I thought you'd have a way to get me to leave with Ness. Fern shook his head and leaned back in his chair.

Rui sighed and continued to look out the window. "You can talk to her for the next two days, Etiyesh shouldn't stop you from talking, because he knows Ness won't listen to you, hurry up, remember, in two days. ”

"What about Nice, I can't watch those archmages send her to the Dark Lord, she's so weak......" Fern looked at Rui with a frown.

"I'm going to stay, I'm going to find a way to help her or get her out of here in a moment's time, but we can't do that right now. Rui felt a little tired and leaned against the window.

"Is there a difference between taking her away now and taking her away later?" said Fern looked at the mage in confusion.

"We don't know exactly what Etiyesh is going to do, we're just guessing, but I promise, Fern, I'll bring Ness to you when the water comes out. Rui left the window and walked towards the mercenary.

Fern thought about it for a long time with his head down, and finally, he finally compromised. "I'll talk to Ness, if she's willing......" The mercenary frowned at the mage's brow. "Well, she won't want to, but I'm going to ask her anyway. ”

"Whatever you want, but remember, opportunities don't wait for you. Rui reminded the mercenary again.

Fern nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave. "Got it, but I still have a question. The mercenary scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed. "Where can we go after we leave? I think Etiyesh will send someone to find us, and where will you and Ness find us in the future?"

Ryo held his chin. "I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I haven't had a good idea, if it's really just seclusion, then you can go anywhere, but considering that if the Lord of the Gloom is really released, then there won't be a safe place in the whole Wallis, so there is no place that is suitable. ”

"Well, now I have a chance to escape, but I don't know where to run. Fern spread his hands helplessly.

"Fern, you should listen to your heart, is it really just trying to escape, or do you want to prevent the Lord from being released? Only when you know what you really want can you decide where you want to go. Rui stared into the mercenary's eyes and said slowly. "You don't have to rush to make a decision now, just get out of here and go to Canrito first. ”

"You're right, let's meet with Stan first, and then we'll talk about it. Fern nodded. "But how did you and Ness find us? I don't even know where I'm going to go. ”

"Let's make a pact. Rui thought for a moment and looked up. "If there is an event in the future that affects Wallis's survival, we must all rush to the place where it happened, whether it is far or near. ”

Fern raised an eyebrow. It seems like a fable, but it seems like the only way. The mercenary shrugged. "Rui, don't forget, take Ness's ......"

"I know that I will bring Ness with me, and I believe that Etiyès's purpose will be exposed at that time, otherwise Wallis will not be in a situation of life and death. Rui patted Fern on the arm.

"Well, it looks like the dust is settled. Fern looked at the mage in front of him with some reluctance. "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Say hello to Stan on my behalf, you look stronger than you did last time we parted, and he must be too. Rui looked at Fern with a smile. "I didn't expect the reunion to be like this, I will pray in my heart for you, and I will pray for Ness and myself, that the next time we see each other, we will all be safe and sound. ”

"Rui, thank you, you're on my side. Fern held out his hands and hugged the mage. "Ness, please, be careful yourself, and may the god of magic be with you. ”

Ruiya hugged the mercenary back. "May the god of warriors be with you. ”

Fern quietly scurried out of the doorway, and quickly left, Rui lying wearily in the wide chair, his eyes showing helplessness. Seven gods, help us.
