"Why, you haven't rested yet?" a voice rang out behind Elendor.

Alendor stopped pondering, turned around, and saw Flanner standing not far from him, he nodded at the latter and said, "Yes." ”

"Isn't it for tomorrow?"

"Yes. Oh, Franner, how are you asking for information these days?"

Franner looked at Allendo with a solemn face and said, "Judging from the information collected so far, the situation is not optimistic. ”

"It's all the same, we can't lose tomorrow. ”

"Haha, of course that's for sure, I have no doubt about that. Flanner exclaimed, "I'm just worried about our ultimate goal, but ...... Hey, it's the same whether you do that thing or not. ”

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"That's right. Flanner walked up to Allendo's side in a few steps and whispered, "I've been out for the past few days and found that someone has been following me, and the other party hasn't shown his figure, it seems that it's just to prevent us from escaping." ”

"Hmph!" Alendor snorted from his nose, and Franner continued, "It doesn't matter if that's all there is, but I asked Colin and Thomas to lead them to a more secluded place, knocked them unconscious, and found out that the people who were following us were all from the Mochizuki City Thieves' Guild." ”

"Thieves' Guild?" Alendor repeated in surprise.

"yes. Franna replied: "I spent a lot of money, and I inquired about this thief guild again, it turns out that there are not only magic guilds in Mochizuki City, but also warrior guilds, thieves guilds, etc., this thieves guild is very similar to magic guilds, except that their members are all thieves. ”

"I see. ”

"yes. Of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon," Franna's expression tended to be heavy again: "Think about it, how can we be involved in a duel with a magician, and what kind of thief guild will be involved." ”

"The Thieves' Guild, I estimate that most of them are the same as the Adventurers' Guild, they collect money to do things, it should be normal. ”

"No, I thought it was the case at first, but then I finally found the connection. "That's where my worries come from," Franner said. ”

Elendor stood there silently, not speaking, while Franner continued to lower his voice and said, "We have to start from the beginning." We all knew that this Mayne-Elber was a total of three brothers, Mayne was the eldest, and although he didn't know his status in the Mochizuki City Magic Guild, he knew that it must be important just because of the identity of Blair's personal student and his level as a senior magician. ”

"This can be found from some of his previous experiences to find some evidence, we know that the life of a mage is very precious, but this Mayne actually killed all the mages who challenged, what does it mean? At least it can prove that this Mayne is very powerful in Mochizuki City, although I can't find out the situation of his family, but this makes me worry even more, you think, if ordinary people are more or less able to find something. ”

"That's not all, Mayne has a younger brother named Maher, he is better at martial arts, and this person is in the Thieves' Guild, from interrogating the few members of the Thieves' Guild who are following us, we learned that this Maher's status in the Thieves' Guild is not low, at least within 1 hour after Mayne challenged us, he will send hundreds of people to be divided into three shifts to monitor us non-stop, it won't be just an ordinary member, right?"

Alendor nodded heavily, although these clues can't prove anything, they also show that the other party's power is not bad.

"Think about it, the three brothers can have such strength, and their status in two different organizations is not low, is it all because of their personal strength? In this city with a history of thousands of years, I'm afraid that no matter how talented they are, if they don't have a certain background, it can't be like this, right?"

"And what do you mean?" asked Allendo, "This Mayne has a deep background, and even if we win tomorrow, it will be very troublesome?"

Franner shook his head and said, "Tomorrow is a fight to the death, no matter what the outcome is." It is impossible for the other party to make any moves on the surface, otherwise he would be challenging the entire continent. However, since the other party has a deep background, it will not affect our ultimate goal. I'm going to make a bold assumption here, could the figure behind this Mayne, like his father, have a deep connection to the six-member council of Mochizuki City, or even one of them?"

"This, is this possible?"

"Elendo, I don't have any evidence, but from a common sense point of view, since the Council of Six controls the city and must maintain their majesty, how can it be possible to sit idly by and watch other forces rise up in the city and remain indifferent?"

Allendo shook his head and said, "I don't know, human intrigue is the thing I hate the most. ”

"I hate it too, but I've experienced a lot of things, and I'm getting used to a lot of things. "What I've just said is all speculation, and I'm afraid that if Mayne's background can influence the Council of Six, then our ultimate purpose will be affected," Flanner said. However, "

Franna said this, and his tone changed and said: "But anyway, Mochizuki City and the Imperial Capital have always had contradictions, for them, the more chaotic the continent is, the more beneficial it will be for them, so they will definitely be independent like the Free Heaven in the end." ”

"Isn't that our purpose?" Alendor asked strangely, "I'm really strange, in fact, we can't come, the final result is the same, I don't think Freedom Heaven and Mochizuki City will declare war on the Imperial Capital anyway, right?" Even if I don't understand politics, I know that for them, the best outcome is that the Imperial Capital and Senate will lose both, so that they can have more room to survive." Since everybody's purpose is the same, what's the point of us not coming? ”

Franner smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, but if we don't come, what if they fall to Senat? This possibility is not big, but it must exist? And if we don't come, how can we prove the sincerity of the imperial capital? This is like the history hundreds of years ago, when the Seven Kingdoms War was in the war, there were many marriages between countries, and when they got married, they said that they would be reconciled for a hundred years, but maybe the next year the two sides would turn against each other. If you know that war will break out between the two countries, why do you want to marry?"

"Why?"

"Because of the time. It's like the current situation on the mainland. Flanner hit the nail on the head and said, "The emperor needs time, because they need to recuperate, and Senate also needs time, because they need to accumulate strength." Freedom Heaven takes time, and Mochizuki Castle also needs time...... In order to achieve their own goals, everyone will inevitably delay as much as possible, so the emperor wants us to come to the south, in fact, before we set off, Luke and Orlando knew very well that it was almost impossible for us to truly have a heaven alliance with ourselves, and the emperor would never allow Mochizuki City to leave the jurisdiction of the empire after recovering its strength. ”

"This, this is simply tossing yourself. ”

"We human beings are pushing the wheel of history by tossing and turning in this way. ”

"Forget it, it's better for you and Ryan to worry about these things, I'll continue to look at my moon. ”

"Hehe, only this moon hasn't changed for thousands of years. Let's take a look. ”

While Elendor and Franner were staring at the full moon in the sky, the elf Shaina was also bathing in the moonlight in the courtyard next door.

Because of Lane's request, Shaina shrouded herself in a cloak all day long, and even in the dead of night, Shaina still didn't take off her cloak, and she sometimes wondered why she listened so much to this little human magician.

Shaina gently stroked the longbow in her hand, and her slender fingers ran over the magic ornaments on the bow arm, and those exquisite magical ornaments made Shaina's heart even more confused. To this day, the battle between her and Ryan still appears in front of Shaina's eyes from time to time, and being as fast as the wind is the most basic requirement for elven wind shooters, but in the short distance, Shaina's rapid shooting is not as fast as Ryan's magic missile, so how can Shaina not be hit?

Shaina, who lives in Demon Moon City all the year round, can be said to be isolated from the world, and her impression of human magicians has always stayed in the descriptions of the elders of the clan, in those descriptions, humans are greedy, although the magicians among them are good, but the fatal flaw of physical fragility makes them completely defeated by the elven wind shooter, but who knows that after meeting Ryan, all this has been completely turned upside down.

Shaina thought about how to deal with Ryan more than once in her mind, but in the end, there was only one result, that is, failure, which hit Shaina very hard. During the time she followed Ryan, Shaina felt Ryan's pursuit of magic, and her sense of Ryan slowly changed, and in her opinion, a magician with good talent and willing to work hard was worthy of respect.

Now Ryan is going to fight to the death with others, which has nothing to do with Shaina, but her heart is also very nervous like Alendor and Franna, and she has even made up her mind that if Ryan loses, she will do whatever it takes, even if she exposes her elf identity.

The whispered conversation between Franna and Alendor in the courtyard next door also reached Shaina's ears, which was what made her unique as an elf, and it would have been impossible for a human to hear.

"Mayne, right? I don't care what your background is, but you shouldn't pick Ryan as an opponent because he's mine. Shaina said to herself, "I won't allow anyone else to defeat him until I find out his flaws." As for you, if you lose, you don't have to say much, and if you dare to win Ryan, I won't let you go. ”

"Hehe, tomorrow's life-and-death battle Ryan will definitely go all out, doesn't that give me a chance? Also, if Ryan really loses, you will face an even more miserable realm, the two natural enemies of magicians, the transformation druid and the elven wind shooter, are all looking at you with blank eyes. ”
