In the days that followed, Edney devoted herself to deciphering the ancient book, which seemed to be quite old. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 InfoShe hires a large number of bards and adventurers who pass through Winterhaven, and pays them for their fair share of gathering information for his travels with "gentle hugs". To this day, Edney could only read a few words of the ancient books, and the invisibility trick she was casting was the only complete spell she had learned from the books.

"Find the girl, lock her up, tell her that as long as we don't get into trouble, we'll let her go when it's over. Edney suddenly heard the leader of the men in black speak. The strange man had not yet left, and he asked the man in black in surprise, "You don't plan to kill her?"

The leader of the men in black immediately turned to him and said, "Shut up, so do you!" and ordered his men to tie up the man.

Edney struggled to maintain her invisibility until everyone left the dining room, gasping for breath when the spell was lifted, although she had often used invisibility to sneak out of the lord's mansion before, it had never lasted so long, and now she only felt like her body was being drained by the strong suction, and it was difficult to even move a step.

"Take me. Edney was baffled by the muffled voice that didn't seem to pass through her ears and went straight into her head. "Take me. The marvelous voice sounded again, and Edney scanned the dining room cautiously, and finally found a wooden ring in the corner of the table, lying peacefully beside a small plate of sterling silver, unadorned, plain like a wooden ring. But Edney was sure at a glance that it was making the sound. "Take me. The voice came a third time, and Edney tried to move closer to it. When she picked up the ring, the surging warm current instantly melted into her body and rampaged through her. But instead of feeling pain, she felt refreshed, as if she was reborn.

Edney didn't put the ring on, she instinctively felt that such a powerful artifact - a word she had learned from an ancient book, she didn't know if it was the right word to describe the wooden ring, she just subconsciously called it - it wouldn't appear for nothing, let alone give her energy for nothing, she wasn't ready to pay for possessing it, or even know what it would cost herself, so she just carefully wrapped it in a napkin and put it in her arms.

With the ring in hand, Edney recast her invisibility spell and swaggered through the layers of men in black to the city walls. She couldn't open the closed gates, there were so many guards that she couldn't worry about being discovered, but she couldn't let the winch that raised the inner gate spin on its own in full view. But she could find ways to climb down the walls, such as stealing ropes to tie to the battlements in the walls.

Unfortunately, the situation was much more complicated than she had imagined. The men in black have quietly infiltrated the city, having completely taken over the security within the city walls, the guards of Winterhaven have either disappeared from the streets or disappeared, the inhabitants are strictly confined to their houses, and there is not a single living person loyal to the lord of the city before Idney. The situation outside the city was also tense, and Edney then recognized two groups of men fighting under the city in the flickering light of the fire, and it seemed that for a moment it was impossible to distinguish the winner, and they happened to be in the middle of the only route Idney escaped into the forest. Even though her body was now full of energy, Idney still didn't dare to risk maintaining her spells for too long, so it was impossible to keep stealth and bypass the battlefield and enter the forest. In the open field, the bright red dress is too conspicuous, and once the spell effect is removed, she will become a living target under the sentinel's arrows.

In desperation, Edney remembered the dungeon on the outskirts of the lord's mansion, built to hold captured tundra pirates, whose father had forbade anyone to kill, and who had enjoyed the bargain of selling captives to his family. Judging by the number of corpses she'd seen along the way, Edney was sure that most of the guards were still alive, and that the best place to go was the dungeon if the men in black were to watch over them to make sure they didn't go awry.

So Edney sneaks into the dungeon, just as she "spares" the guards every time she slips out of the lord's mansion.

"I suppose you're here to get me out, aren't you?" asked the strange man locked up in the lowest level of the dungeon.

The man's question startled Idney, who had wanted to release the captives from the bottom floor up and enlist their help, but she was discovered before she could communicate with the captives in the cell. "Can you see me?" Edney asked rhetorically.

"I can't see," replied the man earnestly, "but I feel it." ”

"What do you mean?"

"The arcane energy fluctuations around you are too strong, I guess the first time I felt your fluctuations was when you cast a spell last time, when I was teaching a rookie in the Grand Arena of the Imperial Capital who didn't know how thick the sky was. ”

"I don't understand what you're saying. Idney was a little frightened for no reason, and she said tremblingly, trying to escape from the bottom of the dungeon where there was only one prisoner, but was blocked by an invisible wall of air.

"I've come all the way from the imperial capital, so you can listen to my words before leaving. The man said, "The leader of the men in black is smart, but it's not enough. ”

"In that case, why are you still here?"

"Because I have to talk to you. ”

"And how can you be sure I'm coming for you?" Idney was intrigued by the man's conceit, and she really wanted to see what earth-shattering things his unassuming "tramp" could do.

"Because I believe you're smart enough, at least better than the guy who kept me here. ”

"Well, I'd love to hear you say that. So, tell me about the organization you can't name, maybe you've satisfied my little curiosity, and I'll consider helping you escape. Idney said calmly as she fumbled for the edge of the wall of qi to get out of her predicament.

"Blue Tower. ”

"What's that?"

"Bang!" the lock of the cell door creaked as the door creaked, and the man walked steadily out of the cell, "Come with me, you can see the greatest power in the world." ”

The man's actions frightened Idney, and with a snap of his fingers, the man cracked her invisibility, leaving her surprised face invisible to him. "Aren't these magical powers enough to prove the strength of the Blue Tower, I told your father that the Blue Tower can give you far more valuable than Winter Harbor. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I'm really interested in what you have to say," Edney replied, suppressing her curiosity, pretending to be calm, "but I can't go with you." Just because you know my father doesn't mean you know me. You may have heard my father talk about my marriage to Frey of Ice's End, and it wasn't just a deal of money, and I couldn't leave him alone to pursue things that weren't important to my life. ”

"But you're going to have to get out of Winterhaven first. The man said resolutely, his tone so firm that Edney couldn't refuse.

"I've got to figure out what they're going to do first, let me out, and maybe I'll visit what you call the Blue Tower when I have the chance. ”

The man snapped his fingers again, and the wall of air blocking Idney disappeared. She silently recited the incantation, gradually becoming transparent from the man's sight, and then returned to the upper level of the dungeon to carry out the action she had planned.
