On the desolate path, horses' hooves rumbled.

It was an inconspicuous convoy with four or five guards and six or seven servants.

If not, no one would associate it with the Rannylord Empire, the mission of the first northern power. Nor would anyone have thought that Anthony Black, the first wise man of the Empire and the Hand of the King, would have such a humble car.

"My lord, there's the Nibelungen College ahead!"

The sentry rode back from a distance, and the news came.

"Got it!"

In the large carriage, Anthony was holding a creed, frowning.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Across from him, sat a young girl. The girl has blonde hair and red eyes, and is dressed ordinarily, but she has amazing beauty.

"Morrigan, Twin Jack is missing!"

The old man put down the note, and the dark brown pupils were calm and terrifying.

"They failed?"

The girl named Morrigan didn't show much surprise and asked rhetorically.

"Things were much worse than expected, and Rommel was not easy to deal with. This old fox is slippery, even after experiencing such a huge turmoil as the Bloody Moon, His Majesty still can't find a reason to kill this legendary magician who is close to the Garfield family, so that His Majesty has to use such shady means to deal with him!"

"But Your Majesty still failed! If Your Majesty had listened to the teacher's advice and left him in the country, things would not have become so tricky!"

Morrigan's rebelliousness was hidden in his astonishing beauty, and he did not have the reverence that ordinary people should have for Romulus VIII.

Anthony glanced at the girl, the old man knew very well, what was behind this rebelliousness?

"Your Majesty has his own considerations. But what worries me is, what exactly does the disappearance of Twin Jack mean?"

"Rommel has decided to make a complete break with the Empire, even to the point of opposing it!" replied Morrigan.

You know, not everyone has the courage to stand up to an empire like Lennylord, and even a legendary magician doesn't carry enough weight. So, what was it that made Rommel make up his mind?

Anthony's eyes were far-reaching, and he didn't nod or deny, but said meaningfully: "The old man of the Garfield family, the Nibelungen Academy, the silent old department of Badr." Little by little, the things that worried me most began to gather, and finally took on the appearance that neither I nor His Majesty wanted to see. ”

"Is that the illegitimate son who made His Majesty sleep? Only, is he worth the price of a duke's fiefdom?"

"Far more than that!" Anthony smiled helplessly, and said, "The Garfield family is so large and dazzling that there are so many dazzling characters that such an illegitimate child really can't attract people's attention. Before the Bloody Moon upheaval, the vast majority of the Empire was unaware of his existence. Therefore, when the old Duke Federderick passed on the name of the Garfield family to the illegitimate son in front of all the lords of the empire before his death, His Majesty suddenly realized that the great danger had quietly arisen. ”

"A vassal of a vassal is not my vassal. ”

"That's right!" Rommel nodded and said, "Even if Your Majesty can kill all the direct heirs of the Garfield family, he will not be able to legally cut off the inheritance rights of his family members to the most fertile land in the north of the empire. The north is still calm on the surface, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent. The upper echelons of the Kalmar Alliance showed a strong interest in him, and the Romanov Empire was even more impressed with the Duke of Badr. Otherwise, a small magic contest would not have attracted so many forces from the north. ”

Morrigan's face finally showed a hint of curiosity, "So many forces are looking for him, are they all finding nothing in the end?"

"That's the most interesting part of things. ”

Anthony smiled, his face full of the cunning of a wise man. "All the people were looking for him, but all the people couldn't find him. There is so little information about this Duke of Badr that he doesn't know even the most basic appearance. The only information that can be found is that he studied at the School of Magic in the South. It's just that there are hundreds of magic academies large and small in the Southern Magic Alliance, and the empire has spent a lot of effort to narrow down this range to a few near the Nibelungen Academy. It can be said that this Duke of Badr has done a really good job, and he is able to hide himself under the noses of so many people. ”

"So is the teacher's mission to kill him?"

"Your Majesty is also undecided, let me take the camera. ”

Morrigan understood what his teacher meant, whether to kill the bastard child to prevent future trouble, or to hold it in the palm of his hand to avoid more trouble. It's really hard to choose.

"But no matter what, let's find him first! Where is this prey, it's a bit of a headache!"

"Will Schumacher, vice president of the Magical Society of the Nibelungen Academy, has come to greet Lord Anthony!"

The mission slowly stopped, and Anthony opened the door and walked out. With black hair and black eyes, fair skin, and in front of him is a young man who looks very capable.

"Your Excellency!" said Anthony, who did not show his domineering position because of his position, said modestly and politely.

Lord Anthony, the Hand of the King and the First Wise Man of the Rannylord Empire, never imagined that Duke Badr, whom he was bent on finding, would stand in front of him at this moment.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" President Meltia is already waiting for your mission ahead. ”

Will nodded with a smile, what Anthony didn't expect was that the young man, who seemed a little capable just now, had a businessman-like expression on his face at this moment.

As prime minister, Anthony has dealt with many businesses in the north, and he often sees such expressions. However, it was the first time he had seen such an expression on a magician's face, and he didn't feel a little curious.

Anthony stepped out of the carriage and walked alongside Will.

"Where are you from?"

"I was born in Lennylord, and I was a little older, and I was tested to have magical aptitudes, so I went to study in Valen. ”

Will knew that a simple lie alone would not deceive the old fox in front of him, so he told the truth.

"No wonder I feel a little close to your Excellency. However, to be able to study at the Nibelungen Academy, your qualifications must be extraordinary. ”

Anthony said politely, at this moment he did not overlap the description of Will in front of him with the description of Duke Balde in his mind.

Morrigan opened the carriage door, and a pair of blood-red eyes looked at Will who was walking slowly in front of him through the gap, and he didn't feel an inexplicable smile on his face.
