12- Follow-up

"Whew...... Whew......"

In the hidden narrow alley, Doug was half-kneeling on the ground, cold sweat like a flood that had opened the floodgates, pouring out of his skin continuously, and the feeling of weakness controlled his whole body, and even made him retch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's so 'exciting'.

Doug swallowed his saliva fiercely, forced his breathing to follow a specific rule, and after more than ten seconds, he successfully suppressed his body's reaction, and looked up at Fifian's eyes coldly and ruthlessly: "Lao Tzu was almost killed by you......"

He gritted his teeth, but not too excited. Fifian's situation was not much better, she was exhausted by the multiple high-intensity magic transmissions and successive blows in a short period of time, and sat weakly against the wall with her knees clutched, resting with her eyes closed, despite the filth and debris everywhere on the floor.

"What now?"

The little girl's voice was small and seemed slightly depressed.

...... Are you asking me about your plan now?

"One step at a time is one step. ”

Doug put aside the irritability in his heart, stood up and walked a few steps out of the wall alertly, and after making sure that there was no one, he quickly took off the dazzling equipment, hesitated for a moment, took out the 'warehouse' given by Fifian from his clothes and took it in: "How much 'history' can you remember? It's real history, don't mention your 'novel'!"

"My memory is good, but it's not that good. Fifian opened his eyes, his clear eyes having regained his composure: "I can't be sure which plots are fiction and which are history—to know the answer, I have to use high-level soul magic to copy the 'history textbook' I have studied from my subconscious." ”

"Then do it right away!"

Doug perked up. If there is an 'orthodox' history textbook, then it is easy to know what needs to be 'corrected' and what cannot be interfered with.

"A bit of a hassle......"

Fifian temporarily lifted his disguise, and sighed with a slight wrinkle on his little face: "The more vague the memory, the more energy will be consumed to conduct a deeper search, my current magic power is not enough to support such a long search process, and I need to supplement it with high-quality pure magic crystals - but all the magic crystals in my collection have been used on you some time ago!"

"X's ...... Where can I get magic crystals?"

Doug cursed, his eyes flashing with urgency. After he heard Fifian say that the next emperor was Sophomandis, he was a little anxious to intervene in the establishment of the imperial throne through Gregory, and he didn't know if it would affect history, and he was very unstable in his heart.

"The formation of magic crystals is complex, it is an associated mineral and its reserves are very small, so there is no fixed source. Fei Fei Yan shook his head, "Each mage tower usually has its own resource reserves, but that is accumulated after years of collection, and it can only be exchanged in a very small amount, and it is impossible for high-quality pure magic crystals to flow out, and they themselves are very lacking." ”

“...... Is there an alternative?"

Doug only thought about it for a second, and then gave up the idea of using 'abnormal means' to obtain magic crystals from various magic towers. That's an impossible task.

"It's a pity that if I have time, I can still have some indirect ways after my artificial spar experiment is successful, but now ......"

She shook her head.

"What a hassle......

Doug felt that his head was starting to hurt again, and after rubbing it lightly a few times, Huo Di suddenly remembered something and looked up: "Besides the magic tower, where else can there be magic crystals?--Gregory will they have them?"

"Even if Gregory believed in you, he wouldn't be able to give you much. ”

Fifian had apparently thought about it for a long time. "High-quality pure magic crystals are very important resources, although the Radiant God Cult wiped out many weak sects in the religious wars hundreds of years ago, and there must be a lot of reserves, but without the approval of the Elders, even Gregory can't get it at all!"

“......”

Doug sat down cross-legged in disappointment, the strength in his body seemed to suddenly disappear, "Is there no other way......

"There are still solutions, I'll think about it when I recover. ”

Fifian was not as disappointed as him, and his little face was quite calm: "As a last resort, I can also design a device to temporarily concentrate the magic of several people on me - although there is a danger of leaking, it is better than being helpless." ”

"Whew...... It's good to have a way. ”

Hearing the news, Doug's face finally looked better, and he stood up: "Then hurry up and go back to rest!"

"No, we're going to stay here for now. ”

Fifian shook his head unexpectedly, "To avoid suspicion, the lab's teleportation array will be separated by a few hours before it can invade other teleportation systems again, so we can't use it for the time being...... And we also need to pay close attention to the news here in the royal capital, so as to ensure that there will be no 'deviation'. ”

"Whatever you want. ”

Doug didn't bother to say anything more, he stood up and was about to look for the inn, and then stopped: "Is there anything else to disguise? I don't know if I'm a wanted criminal, it's better to live in a hotel instead." ”

"There are several preset forms of disguise in 'Angelina's mind', you can choose one yourself, remember to turn on the 'hide yourself' function, so that others will only see your disguised face. ”

Fifian said, resuming his little boy's disguise, watching as Doug took out the beautiful crown and put it on, and after fiddling with it for a moment, his face suddenly blurred, and then he became a stranger with a swarthy complexion and two slender beards, and the clothes on his body changed with it, and he looked like a scholar.

"Let's go. ”

Doug, who had been frightened and had been acting, was already physically and mentally exhausted, so he walked out of the dirty narrow alley first, looked around left and right and looked into the distance, and after a moment of silence, he sighed: "This place ...... I see, this is the former site of the Great Library, and there is a nice hotel nearby, come with me!"

At night, the Sanin Chapel.

In the main hall of the Sanctuary lit by day, Gregory stood in front of a lifelike magical image, reporting to the Presbyterian Church what had happened during the day.

Elder Esther was in charge of the work today, and the young man's face looked pale under the reflection of the magic that was as tall as the person.

"Anagu II, why is he?...... I can't figure it out, but recently, in order to cultivate you, we have made big concessions on many things!"

The vivid image conveys Easter's rage, "And he has always been shrewd and able to bend and stretch, how could he suddenly attack us?And even if he really wants to get rid of you, why do it himself? He is the emperor of a country...... Could it be that he was provoked by some rumor from the enemy and lost his mind?"

"Unfortunately, the reason is not clear. ”

Gregory shook his head slightly, his face calm.

“...... What an unexpected blow!"

After the outburst, East quickly calmed down: "Is the scene all handled?...... What's the reaction of Wright's council?"

"All traces have been erased, the parliament is holding an emergency session, and the results are not yet known. ”

Gregory replied, and then his eyes were slightly confused: "...... Elder Easter, are there any of our loyal members of the Wright Imperial Council?"

"Sanin's divine might is everywhere, of course there are a few - do you want to ask them for news?"

Esther seemed to be thinking about something, and replied nonchalantly with his eyelids lowered.

"No, it's just that it occurred to me that Sophomandis is not only Sanin's loyal guardian, but also the 'inherited' prince of the Wright Empire - should I give him some extra vacation?"

Gregory's immature voice didn't fluctuate, and it looked like it was spoken casually. But East, on the other end of the image, stared, pondered for a moment, and then smiled.

"Gregory, you are indeed a good boy we have carefully cultivated, and the most faithful servant of Sanin, and I am very satisfied with you. He nodded appreciatively, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face: "You don't have to have any scruples, you must know that now you are already a great sage of light, and you have the power and wisdom to give us orders for many things! I will arrange someone to do this matter, you don't have to do anything, just protect yourself!"

"Yes, Mr. Easter. ”

Grigory bowed slightly, changing his salutation, "May the glory of Sanin be with you!"

"The glory of Sanin is with you!"

Easter's respect for Gregory was very useful, and after returning the salute, the image immediately dimmed.

It took a moment for Gregory to raise his head, his gaze shifting, and finally landing on the glittering holy pool, his childish face with a thoughtful expression.

Gregory did not tell anyone who Tutang Carmen really was, and although he no longer doubted his authenticity as 'De Copilivo', he still had doubts about his purpose: his prowess was astounding, and his equipment was jaw-dropping—especially the long staff, which Grigory seemed to have seen somewhere......

The memory was fuzzy, and he shook his head and gave up, concentrating on his thoughts.

In short, Tutang Carmen is a mysterious powerhouse surrounded by layers of mysteries, who suddenly appears to save his life, and then quickly disappears, the purpose is never clear, even if he gives him enough 'space to perform', he does not find any clues when he observes.

However, in this world, people must have a purpose in doing things.

Gregory smiled as he slowly approached the Sacred Pool, repeating Tutang Carmen's movements with his amazing memory, causing the Sacred Pool to change again.

――Even a few teachers who have carefully cultivated themselves at all costs are just one of them!

The smile on the young man's immature face became even brighter, and he bent down and gently put away some of the starlight and silver dust in the grooves, not noticing that in the blind spot of his vision, in the shadow leading to the door of the inner sanctum, a figure was quietly half-crouching in the shadows, carefully observing his movements.

Estelle, the saint of light, was dressed in pure black tight-fitting leather armor, her face was covered with smooth black silk, her slender figure and shadow almost blended into one, only a pair of pure eyes could show her presence in the darkness, and her clear eyes watched Grigory's movements indifferently, but her heart was full of thoughts -

Why did my father attach so much importance to that Tutang Carmen?

Her slender eyebrows twitched, and her mind recalled her father's voice that had been urging her to spy on her earlier. She had never seen her father so out of shape since she was sensible - except for the time when the oracle prophesied.

However, Gregory did not mention Tutang Carmen at all in the report, much to her baffling as she ventured to spy on her. According to what she knew, Gregory had an unusually close relationship with the Presbyterian Church, and any kind of confidentiality in previous reports would be truthful, so why did it ...... this time

Thinking of her father's strange excitement and Gregory's sudden mystery, Estelle vaguely felt a hint of unusualness, knowing that this time it was destined to be a futile return, and silently straightened up and quietly disappeared into the shadows.
