Chapter XXXIII: The Mage's Guild
The result of a large group of guards searching indiscriminately was that they found nothing. This is not an accident for Mo Yan www.biquge.info he can easily enter such a well-guarded place, and of course he is ready to leave. It's just that because of the asymmetry of information, Mo Yan would never guess that the person who wanted to kill him was actually the owner of this mansion.
The noisy tossing of course alarmed the Duke, and after angrily reprimanding the guards who disturbed his rest, he returned to his room with a cold face. Such an attitude made Mo Yan a little suspicious, but there was no better reason to explain that if he wanted to kill himself, he didn't need any killer.
The mansion, which had just boiled, cooled under the icy water splashed by Duke Nick, and slowly returned to silence. Camos discussed with Leon and Mo Yan for a while, and each went back to his room to rest, but Mo Yan, who was lying on the bed, didn't dare to sleep soundly, this was still not a safe place.
After waking up early the next morning, Mo Yan left the mansion after breakfast, only telling Camos where he was going. Yesterday, Edward's last few words, Mo Yan, who had slept and calmed down, always felt that there were many suspicious places.
There is a misunderstanding between them, they should not be enemies? Mo Yan didn't know a few people here at all except for Camos, if it was more serious, Mo Yan only knew two of Camos's guards, but they were both from the Thornland family, and one of them was missing, and the other also had a broken arm.
Speaking of Mossa, Mo Yan saw it in the mansion. After returning to Giza City, this rough-looking guy was placed in the barracks guarding the mansion, and became the deputy in charge of the private soldiers of the Thornland family, responsible for training the newcomers who had just joined, and the salary was said to be very good, which was right for his lost arm.
The rest was the unidentified Nightingale, but she obviously didn't know Edward, otherwise Mo Yan thought she could see something abnormal. But Mo Yan's initial guess was that the owner of the nightingale should be Camos's father, and now it doesn't look like it.
Who would kill someone in his own home? And it was his son's friend, was he really not afraid that Camos would turn against him? Maybe someone else was hiding in the shadows.
Mo Yan, who had already touched the door of True Thought, finally overturned his conjecture. He couldn't have guessed how much Edward trusted Nick in his heart. Doing this with someone who has never missed a move has already shown that Duke Nick attaches enough importance to it, but he didn't expect to miss it in the end.
Regarding the investigation of Edward's behind-the-scenes, Mo Yan felt that he couldn't help at all. I can only wait for him to come to the door again, maybe to capture him alive, and then pull some information out of his mouth. And now Mo Yan is busy with the affairs of Carmos, and it is better to solve the situation that is not scientific at all.
And if those two mages can solve Camos's problem, then maybe their own problems can also be solved. The Mage Tower, Mo Yan had seen it yesterday, but he didn't find the carriage, so he could only go on foot in the end, but fortunately, the uptown was not very big.
The headquarters of the Priest Guild was close to the Emperor's castle, and along the way, Mo Yan met many well-equipped patrolling soldiers. He did not ride in the carriage, and he was interrogated more than once, which consumed a lot of unnecessary time.
By the time we reached the foot of the Mage's Tower, it was close to noon. Looking up at the tall building with high pine in the clouds, Mo Yan sighed, in this world without elevators, climbing stairs is definitely not a pleasant choice.
The mage tower of the Mage Association, the whole is a building mixed with black and white tones, the entire prismatic tower has only one entrance, two tall mage statues in front of the door, the staff in the hand is linked to a lightning bolt, it is a real sizzling lightning, anyone who walks underneath can feel the hair involuntarily stand up.
"It's really a bad taste, is it a disadvantage to everyone?", walking through the shocking statues, touching his somewhat numb scalp, Mo Yan walked into the empty hall on the first floor. Under normal circumstances, no one will come to the mage, and the mage who is busy with various things does not have time to receive it, and the desertion of the first floor is expected.
If it is true that people come and go like a hotel, then Mo Yan really wants to go out to see if he is in the wrong place.
The Mage Tower, which doesn't have any gates, obviously doesn't prevent people from entering, but it's a hassle to keep up with the next floor. In the hall on the first floor, except for those monster statues with different expressions, Mo Yan turned around and didn't find where the stairs were. After thinking about it, Mo Yan estimated that there was some secret door, or teleportation array.
The most striking thing in the hall is the statues that line around the hall, and the marble floor of various colors, with various gold and silver lines, forming a huge pattern in the center.
"Maybe there's a code word or something, something like a password to open a door. Mo Yan, who touched all the statues in the entire hall, stood in the middle and crossed his arms and frowned, but if there was no hint, how could the code words be thought of, and the so-called hints would not be carved everywhere by that idiot.
"Young man, did you come to me?" The magic circle in the center of the hall flashed, and the bald mage that Mo Yan had seen on the road appeared in front of Mo Yan, looked at him who was thinking about it and asked, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you how to use the teleportation array here last time." All you have to do is stomp three times in the center and say a sparkle of stars to get to the floor where I am. ”
Mo Yan, who was messing around in the hall on the first floor, obviously touched some kind of alarm mechanism, which made the old mage notice.
"How did you know it was mine?" Mo Yan looked around, not noticing anything resembling surveillance. But since the person he was looking for to pick him up, then there was nothing to worry about, and he never really knew about magic Mo Yan, and he could only guess how far he could do it.
Following the example of the old mage, Mo Yan stood in the center and stomped his feet three times, and whispered the code words he had just known. I felt a strong dizziness in my body, and the white light completely occupied my vision, and by the time I could see things again, I had already arrived in another strange place.
"Vomiting ......" Mo Yan, who was barely standing firmly, forcibly resisted the feeling of slight vomiting, and held his knees to adapt for a long time before raising his head. In what appears to be a large rectangular room, there are all kinds of strange utensils, and in some places there are various materials, and all kinds of precious stones can be found everywhere, and more are stacks of books.
"Is it the first time to be teleported?" The old mage who stood aside and watched Mo Yan teleport in, a little surprised by the strength of his body, many people even if they were powerful warriors, they would still vomit and collapse when they used teleportation for the first time, but then they still said with a kind smile: "Few people teleport for the first time, they don't spit out, it seems that your body is very good." ”
"I've always been in good shape. Mo Yan, who was already a lot more comfortable, shrugged his shoulders and said: "But this way is too uncomfortable, wouldn't it be better if you could have an automatic staircase?" ”
"Automatic stairs? huh...... It's a strange idea, and it's not that hard to implement. The old mage thought for a moment, glanced at Mo Yan in a formal dress, and said, "Where did you get this idea? Or did you ever come into contact with magic? By the way, have you found your friend? If not...... ”
"Do you want me to stay here as an apprentice? I'm a little curious about magic. Mo Yan smiled and said, "But I didn't come here today to study. Do you recognize this thing? I saw a circle in the card, but I don't know what it's for. ”
The drawings drawn last night were handed to the old mage, and there was only a quarter of the circle pattern, and it was actually difficult to understand what this thing did, but if the old mage really knew something, then he should be able to recognize this thing.
"This is...... Where did you see this?"
The old mage took the drawing in Mo Yan's hand, looked at it twice, and frowned. After learning what happened to Karri, he teleported to Kari as fast as he could, but he was still a step too late, and the magic circle on the tower had already been completely destroyed because of the battle, so he could only return with the corpse of the lord.
"I met it in the tower of Kari Castle. Mo Yan made up a lie and said, "I saw a man trapped in the magic circle, his wrist was cut, and his blood kept turning into a white mist. The guy didn't seem to be dead, and then came out, but his eyes had turned silver. ”
"That's right, that's right. The old mage waved his staff and rummaged through a thick book from a stack of books in the distance, and finally turned to a similar but many different patterns on a page and said: "It is the undead circle that the person has improved, which not only needs people of royal blood as sacrifices, but can also transform them into undead."
When that guy came out, you know where he went? Why didn't you ......?"
Mo Yan probably knew that what the old mage didn't say was nothing more than that situation, why did you survive, why didn't you get killed, and so on. The biggest loophole in Mo Yan's lie is why he was there, witnessing the most important part of the Night of the Dead, without being killed by the monsters.
"I was a guest in the castle and the lord of Madrid had some relationship with my friend. Mo Yan said the reason he had made up earlier: "So he took me to the high platform at that time, but I didn't expect him to want to kill me, if it wasn't for a silver dragon arriving in time, maybe I would have died there." As for that sacrifice, he was also killed by the silver dragon, and I don't know if he has a royal identity. ”
"That's good, that's good. Only then did the old mage reassure and said, "The undead created by the Circle of the Dead, unlike any other undead, can not only retain all memories and wisdom, but also command those wandering undead. If it is not removed sooner, it may cause a second undead frenzy. ”
"But...... That person is still human. Mo Yan asked strangely: "He is completely different from those undead, not only does the wound bleed, but he also seems to feel hungry." The first thing he said when he walked out of the circle was that he wanted to eat. ”
"That's weird. The old mage touched his beard and thought for a while and said, "Maybe that person has changed a little, or has the Fa Array not completely worked?" In short, there are many situations that have caused this kind of result, if that superb is still alive, I may have a way to solve his problem." ”
"It's just a pity that he's dead. Mo Yan shrugged.
"Then it can't be helped. The old mage looked at Mo Yan's eyes for a moment, and could only sigh and said: "Can you draw all the drawings?" This is obviously not complete, if there are complete drawings I can get more useful things, the person who is being hunted by the Mage Association is dangerous, it is useful for us to know more about his progress, for this I can pay you some money." ”
"I can paint it when I go back. Mo Yan nodded and said, "But the remuneration is exempt, you also helped me a lot on the way, this is just some insignificant return gift." ”
According to the etiquette taught by Camos, Mo Yan saluted slightly to the old mage, then stood on the magic circle and stomped his feet, chanting a sentence to return to the original, and then teleported back to the first floor of the mage tower. As for why Mo Yan knew the code words of leaving, it was because this sentence was engraved next to the magic circle.
