Chapter 14: The Gray Mist Forest
The repair went more smoothly than expected, the Wizards Guild retreated in a hurry, most of the things in the warehouse didn't have time to take away, the magic materials for repairing the teleportation array were ready-made, and Rob only took less than ten minutes to complete the work at hand.?? ?? U 8 Small says??? .?U?8 X?S`COM
At this time, a lot of people had gathered outside the gate, but most of them were ordinary people watching the excitement, and there were some mercenary-looking guys who were ready to move, but these people obviously had concerns, Luo Luo stood there with a long sword, and the four unconscious unlucky people at his feet were still very deterrent.
The garrison is not far from the Magician Association, and it stands to reason that the people over there should have also arrived, but I don't know if Ang Sai has an explanation, and the several guards in charge of security in the city have not moved, and Rob's voice came from above, "It's done, let's go." ”
Lolo withdrew his sword and turned to walk up to the second floor, where it was a long time before the bold man entered the main entrance of the Wizards' Guild, and when they reached the upper floor, there was no sign of the two of them.
Rob and Lolo reappeared in a forest, a place similar to the grove outside the Breton family's castle, and of course, all the forests in the north looked similar, and it was hard to know where they were without careful telling.
Luo Luo gave up calculating the direction of the two based on the surrounding environment, and asked directly, "Where is this?"
"This forest is not famous, because of the perennial existence of fog, so it is called the Gray Mist Forest by the local residents, except for mushrooms and some worthless wild fruits, there are very few large animals in the forest, and there are almost no people in the forest except for collecting firewood. "Your Excellency the future Ultra Magister is also observing the surroundings, mainly to confirm whether there is a deviation between the current position of the two and the expectations.
Rob explained, "After repairing the teleportation array, I did a little more on it, and changed the teleportation location directly here. ”
"Is the person we're looking for this time in this forest?"
"Well, if I can move him, then my plan is half completed, if I don't move him...... Well, that's a bit of a hassle. ”
Luo Luo was puzzled, "Didn't you say that there are many powerful masters in the north, and it shouldn't be a big problem if there is one less, right?"
"It depends on which one is less. Luo Bu said, "I have found out about the situation in the northern realm in the classics of the Wizards Association, although I know that there are many hidden masters here, but there are actually only four people who can determine the residence, and there are nine of the remaining ones whose names I only know, and more who don't even know their names......"
His Excellency the future Super Magister paused, and then continued, "But fortunately, these people are not unconnected, the hidden world does not stay in the mountains all the time, they will also go out for a walk every once in a while, add some daily necessities or something, and some people simply live in the city, they just don't want to worry about things anymore, there will still be communication between them." One of those four will not help me, and the other is weak, so we don't have many options, and the remaining two Copernicus we are going to see now is the most important, not only because he is the strongest, but also because he has the most friends. ”
"You want to use him to help gather other hidden masters. ”
Rob nodded, "Two days is too short, we don't know the character experiences of these people at all, and it is difficult to convince them one by one, so we need the help of Copernicus." ”
Lolo noticed the expression on someone's face, "Is this Copernicus hard to talk to?"
"Well, that guy is quite difficult, and he has a bit of a grudge with my teacher, and it's not easy to convince him, I'll be silent when I see him, you try first. As he spoke, His Excellency the future Ultra Magister left a magic mark on the trunk of a tree, and admonished, "Follow me, the gray mist in this forest is a high-level magic that can confuse people's sense of direction, although it is only defensive magic, and it will not harm the intruders, but with our current situation, we can't delay here for too long." ”
Rob also had an easier way to break through the fog in the forest directly, but as a visitor, this way was undoubtedly very rude, so the future Super Magister still chose to fight steadily, not moving the magic array below, but touching the middle of the forest step by step according to the flow of magic elements.
There was a small wooden house, and an old man with a dignified appearance was loosening the soil for a small field, and he wiped the sweat from his face with a towel on his shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw two people behind him.
The old man's expression was as usual, and he said lightly without waiting for the two of them to speak, "Go back, no matter what you are looking for or who you are, you will not get what you want here." ”
Luo Luo was not discouraged when he heard this, but took half a step forward, bowed and said, "Senior Copernicus, I am the former head of the Bretton family, and now the situation in the north is quite critical, we are here this time to ask our seniors to help." ”
"Are you the daughter of the Crimson Sword?" the old man raised his eyebrows, a flash of surprise finally flashed in his eyes, and then he moved his gaze to Rob's body, "Then aren't you ......"
"Do the seniors know about us?" Rob had to speak.
"I'm just living in seclusion here to be quiet, and I'm not completely separated from human society, hehe, your courage is not small, the Magicians Association and the Temple are wanted together, and you dare to go back to the north now. ”
"I was the head of House Breton, and I would not have watched the North fall and the people who inhabited this land slaughtered by monsters. Lolo had been paying attention to the expression on Copernicus's face when he said this, but found that the other party's expression was like iron, and he was not moved at all.
This is not a good sign, which means that Copernicus has already known the news in advance, and he is still farming in his residence, which means that he has no intention of making a move.
"Isn't it strange that I don't deal with Leonardo da Vinci Steins, but the Wizards Guild will still give me a copy of important news like this. The old man wiped his hands, "You're going to persuade me to make a move, it's better to save it, didn't the guy next to you tell me why he lived in seclusion in the north." ”
Lolo looked at someone, and Rob introduced the old man's identity in as simple language as possible, "The Copernicus seniors were stripped of their membership in the Council by the Magicians Association for conducting many taboo experiments on living people in private, and then exiled here, and those gray mist were not used to protect him, but to protect the nearby villagers. ”
Luo Luo was shocked in her heart, although she was already mentally prepared on the way here, but she was still taken aback when she heard the young man say it, she was surprised by two things, one is that Copernicus was a member of the council, no wonder Rob said before that he could help gather other masters, and the other is that the reason why Copernicus was exiled was actually because of the ** experiment, which made his danger skyrocket.
Rob knew that the girl had misunderstood, shook his head and explained, "Copernicus's predecessors were studying the treatment of the Black Death at the time, and he found a direction, but he needed data to verify his idea, so he privately recruited a group of supporters, which was discovered by the Wizards' Association, and his intentions were not bad, but it violated Roland's rule that magicians are not allowed to use living people as experimental subjects, so he was deprived of his position and exiled here." ”
