Chapter 471: The Return of the Prophet (13)
Andy stared at the team of mages dressed in red with masks on their heads, he had heard about the magicians of the Senate. Long before Harris became famous, the old King Auston recruited a group of apprentices who loved to delve into magic. In addition to learning magic, they were also indoctrinated with extreme ideas. The Senate divided the mages who passed the exam into three groups, one was responsible for keeping watch over the Alston air and guarding against the sneak attacks of the Calby elves, the second group was responsible for guarding the king's treasure and kept around the labyrinth all year round, and the third group had been sent to the vicinity of the Glen, where they were said to have provided a lot of information during the Battle of Glen. Andy encounters the second group of masked mages inside the Splinter Beast.
Belil was very desperate, it sensed the masked mage's ability, this little thing began to regret what he had just done, at least Andy would not hurt its life, and now that it had driven away its "good friend", all that was left was to wait for death. "Oh, my dear, farewell. As soon as she finished speaking, Belier stretched out her tongue and drooped her head downward.
"It's not supposed to be a descendant of the Bronze Dragons, it can't be a thief, it's a monstrosity in my opinion. A mage wearing a mask tossed the pretending dead Belil aside and looked around the shallows, as if looking for something. Andy and Srimore lowered their bodies, each hearing each other's heartbeats. "Marcas's wrecked ship is gone, it must have been the acid of the Splinter that caused the hull to break, and it looks like our bet is over. A muscular magician took out a piece of parchment from his bosom and placed it on top of the hourglass, which had finished its time, but the magicians didn't know it.
Andy looked at the hourglass of time that was about to enter the destruction process, and he whispered, "I see. Srimore looked up and asked, "What is it?" Andy leaned over and said with a smile, "This is actually the treasure trove we are looking for, and the magician's side is the hourglass of time." Srimore nodded "oh".
"Who's there?" the masked mage, who had been exchanging bets, turned his gaze to the low wall. They heard sighs as they argued about the distribution of the bets, which was definitely a signal to the mages who were accustomed to a life of suspicion and doubt. "Whew", more than a dozen mages disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Andy frowned and said, "Looks like we've been discovered." Sreemor simply stood up, she saw Belil in the distance and was unwilling, she thought that this little monster could not die like this. Andy reached out but it was too late, and Srimore was already running over the low wall towards the ruins. "Who am I? "A magician suddenly appeared, blocking Sreemore's path. "Not only her, but also me. Andy flashed in front of the masked mage in an instant, and the two sides were tense.
A dozen mages who had suddenly disappeared just now surrounded Andy, and they all began to brew magic, and Srimore felt a strong binding force. "Hurry up and settle them, I still have to settle the gambling accounts. A masked mage said impatiently. Andy didn't want to let these guys go, and as soon as he lowered his head, his surroundings were immediately controlled by a powerful lightning force. The masked magicians did not show weakness either, and they all used their housekeeping skills. For a while, there was smoke in front of the ruins, and Belier, who was facing the sky on all fours, took the opportunity to slip away.
Unable to bear to see Andy alone, Srimore picked up a metal vessel and began to stir the magic sound. The strange melody disgusted the masked mages, who pointed at Srimore and lashed out, "Calby's lackeys. Andy took the opportunity to release Emma's essence, and the slender vines wrapped around the magician's hands and feet, and the situation was temporarily controlled. "Hmm, why is Belil missing?" Andy knew that the cunning bronze dragon must be playing dead, and only Srimore would fall for it. "We've been exposed, so we're just going to kill these mages. Andy actually let go of the cruel words.
"No, you're from Auston, you can't kill us. The masked mages immediately begged for mercy. Srimore kicked one of the mages and asked, "Do you know me?" and the mage nodded and replied, "Yes, you're Duke's daughter." Srimore smiled, and she pointed to Andy, who was covered in smoke, and asked, "Do you know him?" ”
Sremore bent down and slapped him in the face, and the slap was so crisp that if it weren't for the cloth cover, a crisp sound could definitely be heard. She said contemptuously: "You lie, the whole streets and alleys of Auston City are plastered with portraits of Andy, do you know each other as magicians of the Senate?" The mage looked at the gray-haired Andy blankly, and after a moment he shook his head and replied: "We did see Andy's portrait, it was a purple-haired Auston man, definitely not as old as Your Excellency." ”
Andy waved his hand, he didn't want to waste time on his identity. "I ask you, what's going on with this splinter beast?" he pointed to the mage who had just talked a lot and began to extract a confession. The magician didn't have much resistance to pressure, and immediately succumbed to Srimore's magic voice and Andy's lightning storm.
According to him, the Splinter had been seduced in the Sea of Damned, not caught. Splinters have long been extinct in this era, and most of them lived in antiquity. A fleet was searching for Marcus's pirate ship on the Sea of the Damned, and they saw the Maelstrom as well as the Wefred. "That vortex was so weird that we ordered the fleet to stay away. But as we sailed to the vicinity of Storm Beach, we were suddenly caught up in a mysterious force. "The mystical power that this mage is referring to is the Splinter Beast.
King Shino's tribute in Echo Valley was all housed in our cabin, and the Splinter climbed the deck and quickly took over the ship. "We had already started to fight back, but the rune magic didn't work against this monster at all, and a lot of treasure was swallowed up by this guy. We can only watch, but there is nothing we can do. Puzzledly, the Splinter didn't hurt us, but made friends with the captain's parrot. Later, the ship docked, and there we met Amos, the elven wizard of Calby, who told the story of the rift in time. According to him, it is highly likely that the splinter beast came here from ancient times. The masked mage confessed the truth and begged Andy to spare his life.
Andy frowned and listened to this man's story, although the other party mentioned Amos's name, but there was still some strangeness in it, he pointed to the ruins in front of him and asked, "Why are the hourglass and brocade boxes hidden here, shouldn't they be placed in the king's treasury?"
