In the Gars City Government Hall, a small official took a deep breath with some uneasiness, cheered himself up, and then walked in with a stack of papers in his hand. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a while, he walked out with a pale face, his legs still trembling slightly.

"Jack, what's wrong with you today? Your face is horribly pale! Is it that things have been done so badly that you have been scolded by the Archon?" asked a maid with whom he had a very good relationship curiously.

He shook his head and whispered, "No." It's just that the adult seems to be in a bad mood today, frowning all the time, and his body unconsciously exudes a murderous aura - standing in front of him, I always worry about whether he will draw his sword in the next second......"

"What are you doing with your sword drawn, cutting sashimi?" said the maid with a smile.

"I'm not your ......," Jack shook his head with a wry smile, "Although I know that he will definitely not draw his sword and cut me, I just can't help but be afraid." ”

When the maid named Rose saw that he was frightened, she looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one around, so she gently hugged him, put her lips to his ear, and sang in a low voice.

Her singing voice was so soft and quiet that no one but Jack could hear it, and there was a softness and tranquility in her singing like a light wave under the moon, which made Jack's mood gradually calm down, and her tense face was finally soothed, and blood rose again.

After a while, Jack smiled and patted her arms lightly, pushing her away a bit.

"Enough. He said, "Thank you, I'm fully recovered." ”

"You really don't need me to sing to you for a while?" Rose asked with a smile, looking unsatisfied.

"If I sing for a while, I won't be able to do anything today, so I'll have to go home and sleep. Jack said with a smile. "That's fine, wait until I get off work in the evening. Accompany you to the beach for a walk. At that time, you could sing as much as you wanted, and you could just have a good time. ”

Rose smiled and took two steps back. Picked up the broom he had just put down next to him, waved at him, threw a wink, and turned around and walked into the yard next to him.

Jack was fully perked up, he patted his cheeks with both hands, and his eyes regained a fighting spirit.

"Jack, you have to do your best!" he said to himself, "you have to make a name for yourself sooner! Lord Bena has only given you twenty years!

Looking in the direction Rose was leaving, he clenched his fists firmly. Cheered himself up and turned away.

Inside the government hall. Leon—here, more known as "Ray"—couldn't help but chuckle.

"The love story of the Little Mermaid and the young sailor...... he said to himself with a smile, "they are all good people! One left the sea for love and became human, forcing himself to get used to human work and life, and the other went to study accounting for love, and as a student in the initiation class, he actually learned better than many cultural classes......

"Love, what a wonderful power!" is obviously still very young, and he is not a few years older than Jack in appearance. Like an old man, he took a sip of his teacup and laughed.

After laughing, he took out another document and frowned. Staring at it.

This is a new recruitment order issued by the Eagle Kingdom, covered with the king's seal, and there is a faint magic flowing on the seal. The authenticity is unequivocal.

This recruitment order roughly says: The current war situation is urgent, and the kingdom has reached a critical point of life and death. Therefore, the recruitment is sent to all races other than orcs and half-orcs on the continent. All powerful adventurers are welcome to join the army in the Eagle Kingdom, and the treatment is favorable. If only they could repel the orc invasion. Everyone's military exploits are calculated three times, and the royal family will not skimp on money and fiefs.

That's basically it, as for some incendiary words, he directly ignored them.

"Has the war come to this point, and even to recruit adventurers?" he groaned, his brow furrowed, and his heart was very uneasy.

After pondering for a long time, he walked over to the bookcase next to him where classified documents were kept, and pulled out a document from inside.

The document was a soft animal skin, slowly unfolding, but there was no text on it, only a magic array.

It is a semi-magical item that can communicate with someone far away, and is capable of providing both sound and image compared to simple communication magic, similar to video communication on Earth.

Of course, the value of this thing is also terrifyingly expensive, and in order to make it, a legendary-level magic ritual must be performed to obtain a pair of such animal skins. And this hide, too, has to come from legendary creatures. Even if it costs so much, it can only talk for a short time at a time, and then it will lose its effect and need to be replenished with mana - which is the characteristic of semi-magical items.

Of course, there are also those that do not need to be replenished with magical power, for example, in the Supreme Tower of the Esoteric Tower Federation, there is a crystal ball used for communication, called "Enlightener". Not only is the effect much better than it, but it also comes with a variety of magic.

However, it was a demigod artifact, which not only cost Master Lamperous an astonishing fortune, but also received the consecration from the Lord of Mysteries himself, and it was the only one in the world.

Leon placed his right hand on the magic array, hesitated, and injected magic into it.

The lines that make up the magic array lit up one by one, and finally the entire magic array emitted a faint light, and in the faint light, the animal skin gradually became transparent, turning into the appearance of a mirror, but in the mirror it was not Leon himself, but an old man who was too old to look like he would die at any time.

"Leon, you're finally willing to contact me. The old man smiled and whispered, "When I sent someone to give you the teleportation prop, I was worried that I wouldn't live to use it one day. I am glad to have lived to receive your message. ”

Leon sighed and asked, "Is the battle really that bad?"

"You saw the recruitment order? Hehe, the battle situation is actually worse than it says. The old man laughed twice, but there was no worry in his words, but there was a hint of schadenfreude, "Who told that bastard of Woods to kill so many eagles, humans are not giant eagles or griffins, they can lay several eggs at a time." Even though he has been encouraging childbearing all these years, it always takes a lot of time to give birth, grow up, and have offspring. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the current battle situation is indeed extremely dangerous!" A young man with an ordinary face and a somewhat wooden look appeared in the mirror, frowning and said, "If nothing else, the air forces of the two sides will have a decisive battle in the near future, and our army will definitely be defeated! Without the containment of the air force, the orcs can be stoned all the way, and no fortress can resist it...... Perhaps the end of the kingdom is imminent. ”

"Are you ......?"

"My name is Rhine, and I am the successor secretly cultivated by the High Priest. The young man replied, "The high priest told me that when the news of the total defeat of the king **** comes back, let me escape from the secret teleportation array with a few of the most important treasures and go to you." ”

Leon was startled and his eyes widened: "The situation is so bad that it is?!"

"Yes, it's almost hopeless. The old man's face appeared in the mirror again, and he smiled kindly and sighed softly, "There is no flower in the world that will never die, no drama that will never end, and no kingdom that will never perish—even the gods will fall, and what is eternal? The Eagle Kingdom has existed for too long, just like an unpopular character who refuses to live or die on the stage, and it is time to leave." ”

Leon frowned deeply, listened to his narration quietly, and then asked, "In terms of high-end combat power, how is the gap?"

The old man was slightly startled, did not answer, and asked rhetorically: "What do you want to do? Don't do stupid things! The orcs have brought all the 'Imprisoned Staffs' this time, no matter how powerful you are, can you beat the Imprisoned Staff?"

"It's just the words of the 'Rods of Imprisonment'......"

Before Leon could finish speaking, the old man interrupted him and said sternly: "Holding the 'Staff of Imprisonment' is an elder from the Orc Empire Sanctuary, a powerhouse who has already stepped into the peak of the legendary realm and may step into the immortal realm at any time!"

“...... Me too. Leon smiled, his smile full of confidence, "It's just the peak of the legend, what's the big deal! I often practice with a friend who was a god not long ago." ”

The old man in the mirror was finally shocked, his eyes widened, and he showed a look of disbelief.

"What?!Didn't you just heal your injuries and step into the realm of legends not long ago?, why did you ...... so quickly?"

"I'm a genius. Leon smiled, a look of course, "Don't forget, I already touched the Gate of Legend when I was only fifteen years old, and now ...... I'm almost fifty years old, and I've reached the pinnacle of legends, what's so strange?"

“...... Then you can't take any chances!" The old man was pleasantly surprised at first, and then became more and more stern, "You are the last hope for the revival of the kingdom, and you must not die on this meaningless battlefield!"

"Hey, old man, you don't think so much about me?The group of elders in the Orc Imperial Sanctuary are all about the same age as you, and they feel like they can die when the wind blows...... I'm a young man, no matter how I look at it, I have a better chance of winning! As for the 'Staff of Imprisonment' or something, I also have powerful equipment! Isn't it just an artifact, and my majesty gave me a ...... not long ago."

"And what about His Majesty the Beastmaster?" the old man interrupted him again, ignoring Leon's slander at him.

"My uncle can't just do nothing. ”

"What can he do?" the old man asked with a sneer, "Giving a head to boost the morale of the orcs?"

"Old man, you are so old, but why is your mouth so poisonous......"

"I didn't think well of him back then! I have no ability to practice swords, and my mind is full of crooked ways!" The old man unceremoniously scolded His Majesty the King of the Eagle Kingdom as worthless, "Pull a dog and show me the door, that bastard can count the number of times he has come to the door with one hand over the years!"

"Teacher, six times in total. A young man's voice came from the side.

"What's so strange about an extra finger! His Majesty still has dozens of fingers!"

"That's a tentacle, not a finger. ”

As he spoke, the magic item drained all of its power, and the light gradually dimmed.

Between the complete disappearance of the light, Leon heard the old man's advice.

"Remember, don't come!" (To be continued.) )
