The rebel attack on the village of Vol did not happen, and the young magician seemed to jump out of a crack in the stone, flew to the village of Vol and drew a circle, and was shot by Samira with an arrow......

A group of magicians from the Magic Guild Enforcement Corps in Lance and Highlansa City arrived faster than Surdak had expected.

As soon as dawn dawned, a group of magicians flew across Oak Ridge to the village of Wall.

Obviously, the messenger from Vol Village knocked on the gates of the city of Highland at night, and the magician Lance and a group of magicians who received the news rushed over to arrive at Vol Village so quickly.

When Surdak arrived at the courtyard of the sheriff's office, Head Gerald and a middle-aged magician were examining the dead young magician, and two magical assistants were recording the items the young magician was carrying.

Lance walked over first and nodded to Surdak.

Surdak pulled Lance aside and asked, "How did you come so quickly?" ”

Lance, whose eyes were bloodshot and looked tired, sat down on a bench by the bush wall in the courtyard, and said to Surdak:

"When I received your message, we happened to be meeting in the conference room on the top floor of the Magic Guild, and the messenger you sent said that the village of Wall was attacked by the Darkmoon Gate organization again, so we rushed over directly, in the last few days, we have been overwhelmed by this, and this matter has somehow reached the ears of the Grand Duke Newman, the Grand Duke heard that the manor, which symbolizes the highest glory of the Bradbury family, was attacked by the rebels, and the first thing he did was to transfer the head of the Bednar Guard Battalion to Handanaarshire, on the Warsaw plane, The military generals took over the day-to-day work of the Bednar guard battalion. ”

"None of the lords in the city wanted to be implicated in this matter, so they stepped up their investigation into the Darkmoon Gate." Lance pinched the corners of his eyes with his hand a little helplessly, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Surdak also said: "I heard that the Darkmoon Gate once participated in the coup d'état in Sloit, this time Archduke Newman is on the front line of the Warsaw plane, is he worried that something will happen in the province of Bena, so he will send the military to take over the Bena guard camp?" ”

Lance shook his head slightly and said: "There must be this consideration, but the matter is far more complicated than you think, according to the news from the intelligence department, the Dark Arts Retreat is also involved, and an adventure group composed of members of the Dark Arts Retreat has secretly infiltrated Highlandsa." ”

"The Dark Magic Retreat? Hasn't it been completely eradicated from the province of Bena? ”

Hearing the news of the Dark Arts Hermitage, Surdak frowned.

Lance glanced at Surdak and said in some surprise, "I thought you didn't care about that...... The Dark Magic Retreats are scattered throughout the Empire, a group of magicians who secretly study the Dark Arts, and their roots are far greater than we think. ”

Surdak smiled wryly: "I have such a big grudge against them, how can I be indifferent? ”

Wizard Gerald and a middle-aged magician walked side by side, and Lance and Surdak hurriedly greeted them.

As the head of the law enforcement team of the Hylantha Magic Guild, Wizard Gerald was extremely humble in front of this middle-aged magician, but he did not introduce the origin of this middle-aged magician to Surdak, and only said: "It is indeed a member of the Darkmoon Gate Organization, Baron Surdak, can you tell us what happened?" ”

Surdak immediately replied: "Of course! ”

He invited a group of magicians into the parlor of the sheriff's office, and Samira had prepared some hot tea at this time, and sat down around the table, Surdak, fearing that he had missed something, called the half-elf archer Samira and the native warrior Andrew, and then introduced them to several magicians:

"We were having a harvest festival at the time...... That's exactly what happened. ”

Surdak told the whole story of the battle.

Several magicians in front of the round table looked at each other, and their eyes inadvertently fell on Samira, who covered her face with a conical hat, and no matter who was on guard in the face of such an archer who could shoot the magician at any time.

Wizard Gerald whispered a few words to the middle-aged magician, and there was silence at the conference table.

Then Wizard Gerald said: "There are all kinds of indications that the dead magician is indeed a member of the Dark Moon Gate Order, and recently there has been a group of secret infiltrators of the Dark Arts Hermit Order in Highlandsa City, and it is not sure if he has any connection with the Dark Arts Order." ”

After a pause, he said to Surdak:

"We are going to bring this magician's body back to the Magic Guild, and the corresponding merits and rewards will be passed on within a month, you are the sheriff of the Wastelands, so you need to keep an eye on this side, and if there is any news of the Dark Moon Gate and the Dark Arts Retreat, please notify us immediately."

"Yes, Lord Gerald!" Surdak was calm, not mentioning the young magician's belongings and other related loot at all.

Probably because Magician Gerald felt that taking the young magician away like this would indeed affect Surdak's interests, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"The last time I participated in the Council of Hylantha City, the guard battalion proposed to promote you to a security squadron here and increase the police force of the guard battalion, but the matter was temporarily shelved for various reasons, but this time you can rest assured, in the House of Representatives in the middle of this month, all the magician representatives of Hylantha City will vote in favor, as long as you can guarantee that the representatives who supported you last time continue to support you, the official appointment will definitely be communicated within this month!"

Surdak didn't expect that because he gave up the ownership of this young magician, he actually got the full support of the magicians of Highlandsa City, he didn't pay much attention to the matter of the squadron leader, mainly because there is no place in the barren land where war horses can be raised, and the hard conditions for establishing a knight squadron are not yet mature, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while.

Still, words of gratitude have to be spoken.

Surdak immediately said to Wizard Gerald, "Thank you, Lord Gerald, for your support!" ”

Admire Surdak's unfazed composure, Wizard Gerald leaned over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've been doing a good job!" ”

……

Before the Magical Guild Law Enforcement Team left Wall Village, Surdak pulled Lance back to understand the situation.

"Lance, Grand Duke Newman seems to be particularly concerned about the Darkmoon Gate Organization." Surdak said.

"That's nature." Lance whispered to Surdak: "The Dark Moon Gate organization has the most mature temporary magic array construction blueprints and mana centers in their hands, and that group of magicians can set up temporary portals anytime and anywhere, and transfer the living forces far away from the headquarters of the Dark Moon Gate to any place, this is the biggest threat of the Dark Moon Gate to the Grimm Empire, of course, teleportation also has a certain cost, and the Dark Moon Gate and the Northern Rebel Army have joined forces, and they also take a fancy to their excellent combat effectiveness." Being able to attack the Bradbury Manor under the nose of the knights of the Bednar Guard Battalion is also taking advantage of this. ”

"You think, with such a group of magicians, they can let an elite team infiltrate the hinterland anytime and anywhere, how can Grand Duke Newman not worry?" After Lance finished speaking, he took out the magic rod from his magic belt bag, and the other magicians had already taken off first, and he didn't want to be left too far behind, so he had to catch up immediately.

"This time, the magicians from the Magical Guild of Bena City have also arrived in Highlandsa City?" Looking at Gerald Magician who flew away, and the middle-aged magician who had communicated with Gerald Magician the whole time, Surdak then asked.

Lance didn't hide it, nodded and said, "That's it, so you should know how much pressure there is on our law enforcement team's side, okay, I should go, remember to contact me if you have something!" ”

He stepped onto the magic rod and waved his hand at Surdak, and the magic rod lit up the magic patterns on it one by one, and slowly rose into the air, carrying Lance Mage like an arrow from the string.

Looking at such a convenient flying tool, Surdak was also envious.

……

The smell of tea was on the square table, and Madame Mariana's maid brought out a few plates of desserts and fruit from the kitchen.

Surdak first came to Karl's apartment in the city of Highlandza, where he and Mariana. Lady Christie usually dates in this apartment, but as Karl's status in the city of Highlandsa gradually rises, he and Lady Marianna's romance. The relationship between people is already semi-public in aristocratic circles, so there is no need to hide it.

Through a crystal curtain, Surdak could see Lady Mariana sitting in her nightgown at a dressing table by the wall, while a maid was grooming her.

Karl sat across from him and said proudly to Surdak, "That Cavendish knight is okay on the battlefield, but his bones are not so hard, and the days spent in the prison of the guard camp have almost told everything about the rebels. ”

"According to him, in just a few years, there have been several major changes within the rebel army."

"The generals who were the best at fighting have left the rebels one after another, and this group of rebels in the north has long lost their original combat power, which is one of the reasons why the Gate of the Dark Moon gave up on these rebels."

"And, of course, after this group of rebels attacked the Bradbury Manor, several traitors appeared and stole the mutilated map, and at this time the internal cause of the rupture was already sown."

"In the end, the reason that led the Darkmoon Gate to abandon the rebels in the north is probably the death of the Kirdon magician."

"It is said that joining forces with the rebels in the north has always been promoted by the Kirdon magician, and many magicians in the Dark Moon Gate themselves do not agree with this, but it involves some interests in the organization, and the Kirden magician faction has taken the initiative."

"We've pretty much got the news, Cavendish just left Highlandsa in a magic airship the day before yesterday, and if you had come two days earlier, I guess we'd have been able to meet him."

"This time, the operation of our Hylanza guard battalion was actually rewarded by Duke Newman."

"By the way, you're looking for me this time to learn about this?" Karl asked Surdak, who was choosing dessert on his plate with his head down.

"Well, I've formed a mortal enmity with these rebels in the north this time, so of course I need to know more about them." Surdak said, shoving a piece of cake into his mouth.

"You can rest assured that without the support of the Darkmoon Gate, those rebels from the north would not be able to reach Bena Province at all." Karl said to Surdak with great certainty.

Then he said to Surdak: "I thought you would care about your position as squadron leader......
