According to the Kamal legends, these long-lived Erna have always been unhurried, and there seems to be little that can make them nervous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 But it is clear that when the safety of the forest and the kingdom is threatened, as members of the kingdom, they also understand that every second counts.

Yuffie nodded, recounting his previous findings in an orderly manner. The blonde teenage girl stood beside her, occasionally adding some specific details. As they spoke, the wizard Isaith's brow furrowed more and more, and he tried to interrupt the two of them several times, but he forced himself to hold back.

Lynn looked a little amused. For wizards of the classical genre, it is rude to interrupt other people's arguments or reflections at will, and sometimes it can have serious consequences. As a native of Erna who has lived for hundreds of years, Isses is not yet accustomed to the fact that modern wizards debate and even fight over an issue.

In fact, even a seemingly quiet witch like Yuffie has had the experience of asking the academy tutor speechless. On that occasion, Mentor Max suspended teaching on the spot and brought everyone to the lab for an impromptu experiment to confirm the correctness of the spell model. The final result proved that Yuffie was right, and by the way, it made up for the shortcomings of the original model, and it also caused a stir in the academy.

“…… The Lost Lock in the Forest is not damaged. If my guess is correct, this contamination may be caused by the actions of someone from the outside world, that is, someone at the outpost. It may have been a simple mistake, or it could have been induced in some way, but it is difficult to verify now. After telling the general facts, Yuffie gave her speculation and summary, "Because of this, as long as the pollution from the outside world is purified by magic, the incident can probably be quelled." It's just that the source of all this may still be inside the lock, and if you want to get rid of it once and for all, you need to find out further, and the lock ...... Or what really happened in the underground palace. ”

"I see." The wizarding leader of the Elna muttered, "It stands to reason that if the Lost Lock is not damaged, it is impossible to send anything inside to the outside world unless you have the key. What is the basis for your judgment? ”

"A lot of reasons." Yuffie replied, "The location of the pollution outbreak is the outpost, and the area with the highest concentration of magic is near the Mystery Lock. The Lost Lock itself has the effect of driving away foreign objects, but around the dead land, a large number of demonic creatures have gathered. As for the means of sending things to the outside world......" she looked down at the ground beneath her feet, "The 'plane' we know so far is only part of it. ”

"Through another unknown plane...... Very bold guess. Ethes frowned, "However, there is not enough evidence. If the Imperials were to do the same thing here, they would be able to do the same thing, and it would be much easier in terms of means-"

"Maybe there is." Yuffie said softly, "More than twenty years ago, when the "Oath of the Lily of the Valley" mercenary group visited here, they must have told you something, right? ”

The expression on Iceth's face froze. He stared hard at the pink girl, as if trying to see something out of her. He opened his mouth and eventually sneered.

"Alicia, your mother?"

"That's right." Yuffie nodded happily.

"It's really carved out of a mold...... No, it should be said that the mother is more exaggerated. "But from the statistical analysis of historical records, I believe that this kind of 'intuition', which cannot be accurately measured, can increase the success rate of related matters by about 21 percent...... Well, there is a need to look again. ”

He held his chin and pondered for a moment, dusted off his robe, and raised his hand to draw a silver-white pattern in the air. A snow-white falcon swooped out from there, soaring around the wizard's head.

"Go and help me see what's going on over there," the wizard commanded, "stay safe." ”

The white falcon let out a soft roar, flapped its wings into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

"This ......" Lin looked at the white falcon and turned her head to look at Isses curiously, "It's the spirit of the secret law, right?" A wizard's most faithful companion? ”

"The little girl has a good eye." The wizard chuckled, not impressed by her, "I've heard that you're quite talented at domesticating creatures, and when I have time, I can teach you something." ”

"Ah...... Thank you! The blonde girl happily patted Grace beside her, and the griffin seemed to sense her emotions and leaned down to rub her face, "That way, you can stay with me longer!" ”

In biology classes, Lynn had learned about fur. The Arcane Spirit is not a specific creature, but a pact that connects one of the wizard's companions—mostly animals, and occasionally otherworldly creatures—to the wizard himself, transforming it...... Or "promoted" to become a new species.

Arcane spirits can share life with wizards, and the shorter lifespan between the two will be extended to the point where the other is close to the other. The two share the same body and mind, and within a certain distance, they can share their perceptions with each other as they like. As the power of the wizard increases, the spirit of the arcane will also gain greater strength and wisdom, they can understand complex commands, make highly autonomous judgments, and learn human language and the like, but it is a trivial matter.

Of course, there are also flaws. Whether it's the wizard himself, or the spirit of the arcane who loses his life due to an accident, the other will be severely damaged. There are many examples in history of his strength being greatly reduced due to the killing of his "half-body", and then losing in battle.

Most wizards today have abandoned this contract, after all, with the status of wizards, it is not difficult to find obedient and intelligent assistants. Perhaps in some cases, human assistants are not as convenient as the spirit of the arcane, but the danger caused by carelessness is much less. Shamans usually value life, which makes this ritual almost lost among the Kamal shamans.

Lynn had a simple idea, she was currently living far longer than Grace and much longer than most races in the world. It's not a bad thing to have a partner who is always with her and Yuffie no matter how you think about it. She turned her head to look at Yuffie, and the girl smiled at her.

"Let's take a look at the matter of the Mystic Spirit." This time it was Shirinfell, the leader of the Nature's Messengers, who spoke, "Yufie, Lynn, since you mentioned the underground palace, how much do you know about the history and current situation of that palace?" ”

"Remember that it was once the palace of the Empire, right?" Lin tilted her head and thought for a moment, "More than two hundred years ago, there was a war between the Empire and the Kingdom of Elders...... It was probably then, sinked into the ground by spells? ”

"It was part of the Grey Wars, also known as the Lich Wars, because the culprit who started the war was a genius mage who transformed himself into a lich." Yuffie added, "It seems that the initiator has been here too." Because...... The vast majority of the participants in that battle died here, and there is no clear record in the history books of what exactly he did during the war and whether he left other arrangements. ”
