--Magic City Vando--

"I will take my leave, then, and return to Thessalonia, and convey your words to the Council of the Supreme Council of the Acting Pope, for the decision of your lordships, and I hope that you will be dealt with leniently...... Good luck, Your Excellency Wolfmont Kleist!"

In the house where Soth lived, a priest dressed in the indigo monk costume gave Soth a farewell salute at the mouth of the Grand Mén, he had been sent from Salonia to contact Soss, and the Holy See urgently needed a reasonable explanation for why Soth became the commander of the Dark Mage Army in the Great War, and why he was the head of the New Heliryoch Academy. 【Reading.com】

After all, Soth's identity is very special, and he knows and has mastered many core secrets of the Holy See, once he betrays the Holy See, the consequences are unimaginable, so the Holy See has been closely focused on him after the war.

"Whew!" Seeing off the troublesome messenger, Soth couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, shook his head and said angrily, "It's really early in the morning, and I can't even eat breakfast......

As soon as he finished speaking, a sweet chuckle came from the long table in the living room, and Soth turned his head, only to see Dia preparing breakfast, pouring two cups of hot tea, and whispering, "You are really, why don't you invite someone to come in and sit down...... It's rude to come from Salonia from afar!"

Soth walked over to the long table and picked up a loaf of bread and took a bite in his mouth, chewing it while muttering, "That guy is a member of the Supreme Council, I am annoyed when I see it, and he is not my former subordinate...... Besides, why do you think he came, it's not because I'm afraid that I will go against the Holy See!"

"Can't you!—can't you sit down?" Sighing helplessly at Soth, Dia handed him one of the cups of hot tea and said softly, "No wonder, you were once a cardinal of the Holy See, but now you are the dean of the Reox Academy, and it is not unreasonable for the Holy See to have doubts...... It's also caring and compassionate!"

"Concern?" said Soth, smiling strangely, and sat down in his chair in a disgraced manner, "do you think those cardinals of the Holy See will be so kind?—they're all stubborn old fellows!

"Key?" Dia was stunned and asked curiously, "I've heard you say it, what is the key?"

"Didn't you notice?" Tilting his head over Dia, Soth pointed to his left eye and said, "See, that star-like thing?"

"Hmm!"

"This is the key, the Star Key Matrix, with which you can drive the ancient ruins that float thousands of yards above Thessalonia, the city in the sky: Gasorok, the place where the gods once lived, so it is called Gasoloke, which means [God is everywhere], in fact, to put it mildly, that guy used to look down on everything on the ground from a high place...... How's that, arrogant enough, right?"

"Giggles," Dia couldn't help but chuckle, then tilted her head slightly to look at Soth's silver-glowing left eye, and said with a little surprise, "It's not that I heard you say, I can't believe that there is still a levitation in such a high place...... No wonder it's called the city in the sky, speaking of which, Vander is also floating in the air......"

"Of course, because they are also built and left over from the prehistoric mechanical civilization of Mecande, and they are strategic fortresses used by the Mecande people in warfare, and the same is true of the Tower of Thunder Vander, except that Vander is biased towards attacking xìng weapons, while Gasorok is a strategic fortress that focuses on defense......"

"It's been so long since the ancient weapon, can it still be used?" Dia asked curiously.

"Of course not," said Soth teasingly, shrugging his shoulders, "otherwise that old man wouldn't have put this in my hands!--I don't know what era it was, like Vander, it would be nice to be able to maintain an anti-gravity device, and the weapons in it, don't even think about it, it's almost ruined...... However, the Holy See has maintained it for hundreds of years, so it is still possible to protect the existence of Salonia, but the power system inside is destroyed, so it cannot be moved, and can only continue to float above Salonia...... In fact, Vander is similar, otherwise, the past few hundred years of the empire and the Holy See would not have been so peaceful......" As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at Dia, who nodded and suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "Do you want to see it, the star key matrix is very beautiful!"

Glancing at Soth helplessly, Dia shook her head and said softly, "Such an important thing should be kept well!"

"Heh," Soth smiled slightly, sighed lightly, "If it's Ivey, it must be ......" At this point, he suddenly came to his senses and said, "I'm sorry......"

As if seeing Soth's apologetic eyes, Dia shook her head slightly and muttered, "I don't blame you, Soth, and...... I feel like Lavia must be more uncomfortable than I am......"

"Heh......" Sosgan smiled dryly, and then turned to destroy the food in his hand, not very willing to continue the topic.

There was a sudden silence in the living room.

After a long time, perhaps Dia didn't want the cozy breakfast time to become so dull, she was the first to speak.

"By the way, how's the situation at the Academy, South?"

"Huh?" Sos was stunned, glanced at Dia, then understood, and said with a smile, "It's okay, more than three hundred students have been enrolled, after all, Reox is still very famous!"

"That's nice......"

"Is this okay?" said with a strange expression on his face, "Now most of the inhabitants of the entire Vandor are those dark mages of war, as well as those necromancers, and now the entire Reox, a total of about seven hundred, including three hundred students and nearly four hundred professors, can you imagine?"

"Giggles, it's going to get better!"

"It's hard to say, the impact of Argus is too severe, and it's hard to ...... to restore the former Reochs House"

"Don't be modest," said Dia playfully in the blink of an eye, "you who defeated Argus are now famous!—maybe the three hundred students came because of you!"

But to Dia's surprise, Soth's original smile disappeared after hearing this, and he sighed slightly and muttered, "Defeat Argus...... It wasn't so much that I defeated him, but that he himself chose the path of defeat......"

"Huh?"

Seeing that Dia didn't seem to understand, Soth shook his head and said, "That guy, he originally planned to end his life in that war, and in the end, he didn't lose to me, but to himself, to Marmén...... Mighty apostles are just some wretched worms who look up to people!"

"Soth ......" looked at Soth's depressed god, Dia's eyes showed a little worry, and she smiled reluctantly, "However, the war is over, it's always a good thing, and the Ma Mén you are talking about will not continue to threaten this world......"

"You're wrong!" Shaking his head, Soth said in a deep voice with a solemn expression, "Although Argus is dead, the breath of Marmén is still in this world, in the Imperial City of Sassen, which is why I advised Alan and Ivey not to have a conflict with the Flores family......"

"What do you mean......"

"After that fight, I had a constant question about why Argus's power had diminished at the last minute...... But the guy was dead, and I couldn't ask him face to face, but when I went to Sassen that day, I felt that smell very similar to Argus, the smell of Marmén...... That guy from Argus, who was given up at the last minute by Marmén!"

"You mean ......"

"Ah, it's not over yet, the apostle of Marmén is still alive in this world, but with a different object," said Thorston after a pause, his expression became more gloomy, and he frowned, "What's worse, in addition to Mén's apostle, I also feel the breath of another apostle!—there are two apostles in the current Sassen Imperial City!"

"Two apostles?" said Dia, her eyes widened in astonishment, and she covered her mouth in a lost voice, "Isn't that dangerous?

"Not really," said Soth with a sip of his teacup, "The Apostle is not a murderous fellow, and the most fundamental reason why Argus provoked war was because of his hatred of this country, not Marmén, and of course, Marmén also wanted to have a strong soul power to come to this world...... What I am more concerned about is the identity of the two apostles, and the newly awakened ancient will!--Although there is a certain sense between the apostles and the apostles, if the apostles deliberately hide their breath, others will not be able to feel it......"

"Isn't it just Thos, you're exposed?" said Dia worriedly.

"Ah," Soth nodded, then smiled a little more easily, and said comfortingly, "In addition to you, there are Alan and Ive...... Ahem, apart from Scott and some others, only Argus knows that the ancient will behind me is Sloth...... Well, Mén also knew that he might tell his apostles...... Forgive them for not daring to provoke me too much, and the enmity between the apostles will even extend to the opposition between the ancient wills, and Marmén will not be so irrational as to risk being an enemy of Sloth to kill me!--The reason why Argus let me go in the first place, apart from his own personal reasons, Marmén must have meant the same thing!"

"Whew, that's good......," Dia let out a long sigh of relief, then sighed, "I wish there was peace forever......

"I hope so!" Soth smiled slightly, then wiped his mouth with the napkin on the table, and whispered, "I'm full, it's time to go!—there's a lot of paperwork waiting for me to sign!"

"Giggles, it's really hard......" As she spoke, Dia got up and sent Soth to the big mén, and said gently, "Then you have to work hard today!"

"Hmm!" Soth nodded, and then as if he had thought of something, he asked hesitantly, "What about you?

It was not without reason for him to ask this, after all, when Dia was in the academy, she was a two-year student of Gaosos, and because of the xìng ge, she was not used to jiaoji, so she had few friends, and the circle she was in was only Soss, Allen, Scott and Lavia and other Xiao people, and the worse thing is that because of the relationship between Soth, the relationship between Dia and Lavia is much worse than before, and as Lavia's close friends, Lisa, Lerella and Dia's relationship gradually faded, and Alan and Scott are one layer away, so there are very few people that Dia knows and can talk to in Vando, almost none.

"It's okay," seemed to understand Soth's intentions, Dia shook her head, and said softly, "The current Van Duo is gradually returning to the appearance of the magic city in the past, when I went to the street a few days ago, there are many new shops about magic in the city, take this opportunity, I also want to review the magic I have learned before, I can't be dragged too far down by you......" said, blinking, with a bit of a joke, and said playfully, "Maybe, it's good to go back to the Reoks Academy to study!"

"Heh!" Soth shook his head helplessly, and then whispered, "So...... I'm leaving!"

As if she understood something, Dia's face showed a little shyness, and then she bit it, secretly glanced at Soth, gently hugged his waist, closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and gave Soth a long kiss......

A minute later......

"Then, I'll go first......"

"Hmmm......"

Walking out of the room under Dia's gaze, Soth was about to return to Reox, when suddenly he seemed to notice something, his eyes suddenly became alert, and he scanned the street outside solemnly, and after more than a minute, he showed a puzzled expression.

"Strange ......"

"What's wrong?" Dia asked curiously, looking at Thos's unusual behavior.

"No, it's nothing, then I'll go first, don't worry, I'll be back early!"

"Hmm!"

Seeing Soth walk away along the street, Dia let out an imperceptible sigh, and then, she slapped her face with her hand, cheered herself up, and said, "You have to work hard, Dia...... Get the Intermediate Magic Certificate first, and then challenge the Royal Magician, you can't be pulled too far by Soth......"

As soon as the words fell, a chuckle suddenly came from nowhere.

"What a [ambition], Dia!"

"Huh?" Dia subconsciously looked towards the place where the voice came from, but was surprised to see that a young man with a black sè length that dragged to his waist and a black and white sè folded gown was leaning against the wooden fence in the courtyard, looking at him with a smile.

Looking at the young man's slightly teasing gaze, Dia's eyes showed a look of disbelief, and then, the disbelief suddenly turned into surprise, and said, "Lilith?!"

It turned out that the young NV who was black and long turned out to be Dia's former roommate, best friend, and Lilith who Soth and Allen had met.

"Why are you here?" said Dia, who ran up in surprise, happily holding her friend's hand and asking in a loud voice, "Aren't you back to your hometown?"

"Won't I come back?" Lilith grinned, took Dia's hand, and teased, "Don't digress the conversation, I just saw it all!—what a heartwarming scene!"

"Oops!" said Dia, who didn't understand what Lilith meant, with a hint of shyness on her face, "It's too much to make fun of me when we meet!—shall we go to the house and talk?"

"Okay, I just wanted to see what your cosy room looks like!"

"Oops, Lilith!"

"Alright, alright......"

In the midst of laughter, two NV children walked into the house.

After entering the house, she poured Lilith a cup of hot tea, and Dia asked curiously, "Tell me quickly, why did you get to Vandor? When did you come back?—it's too much, you haven't come to see me......

"I'm not here, am I!" Lilith, who was looking at the furnishings in the room, chuckled, took the teacup handed by Dia, and said in a somewhat teasing tone, "Actually, it can't all be thanks to me, I thought you were in Jelbart, who knows you...... Hey, you're not really going to follow that Xiao ghost, are you?"

Dia suddenly felt her cheeks hot, and said shyly, "What...... Don't say it so ...... It's so ugly, I'm just ......"

"Yes, yes, you just fell in love with that Xiao ghost and wanted to be with him, right?" Lilith blinked, then looked at Dia's shy appearance, and giggled, "Okay, okay, I won't joke with you, I live in Sassen now, and today I just heard that Xiao ghost lives here, so come and have a look, I didn't expect you to be here...... If you have time to go to Sassen to find me in the future, it's only a matter of half a day......"

"Hmm!" Dia nodded, to be honest, she was actually very bored alone when Soth left, but after responding, she felt a little strange and asked suspiciously, "You live in Sassen now?"

"Yes," Lilith chuckled, then sighed deliberately, and said with a grin, "I'm not as lucky as you to have a man stronger than the Great Magician with you...... I really envy me!"

"Oops!" Dia snorted, then suddenly saw the ring on Lilith's left hand, and said in surprise, "You're married?"

To her surprise, Lilith's expression sank suddenly, but after a moment, a smile appeared on her face again, and she said absentmindedly, "Yes, married to a trash named Vincent Flores!"

"Huh?" Dia couldn't help but be stunned and muttered, "He's not ......"

"Don't mention him, I'm upset when I mention that guy!" Lilith said in disgust, and then as if she noticed something, she glanced at Dia apologetically, and said softly with a little inexplicable concern, "Don't talk about me, how have you been lately? I heard that Xiao ghost seems to have an NV person outside? It seems to be called Lavia Womisley...... I remember coming, it's the proud xiao girl in the academy!"

"What!" Dia scolded, explaining the incident to Lilith.

"I see," Lilith understood after Dia's explanation, shook her head speechlessly, and said with a smile, "It seems that you have had a hard time too!"

Shaking her head, while cleaning up the tableware on the table, Dia defended, "No, Soth is very good to me......"

"Very well?" Snorting, Lilith glanced at the furnishings in the room, then suddenly turned her gaze to a cross on a cupboard, and said with a slight mockery, "I hope it wasn't for you to comfort yourself, man, it's all the same...... How nice it sounds, in fact, it's either coveting the beauty of the NV people, or coveting the ......," she said, picking up the cross with some curiosity.

At the moment when Lilith picked up the cross, the cross suddenly bloomed with a strong holy light, and it was faintly visible that Lilith's white right hand was burned by the power of the holy light, revealing a bright red tender rou......

"Huh!" saw her eyes change, and a few traces of thick darkness immediately seeped out of her hands, and the light of the cross was strangely suppressed.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Dia, who was putting away the dishes, turned around in confusion.

"No, nothing, just a little curious,......" Lilith said as she quickly put the cross back in its place, placing her injured right hand behind her, and amazingly, her wounded part recovered very quickly, and in a few seconds it was back to its original appearance, as if it had not been hurt at all.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about," Dia didn't seem to notice the unnatural expression of Lilith, and said with a chuckle as she cleaned up the dishes, "There are a lot of such pendants in the room, and Soth said that although Argus is dead, the empire is still shrouded in dark forces, especially Sassen and Vando, so let me take it with me when I go out, so I can take it with me, I don't think it's necessary......"

Leaning against the wall and looking at Dia with caring eyes, Lilith said in a relaxed tone with a bit of seriousness, "He's right, you should take it, the power of darkness has gradually infiltrated this world, unless there is a strong force, otherwise living here will be more or less affected, and the spiritual ......"

"That means that I belong to the category of very weak xiao, which kind of weak xiao? It's too much!" pouted, and Dia said dissatisfiedly, "Lilith isn't much better than me......"

The corners of Lilith's mouth couldn't help but show a slight chuckle, she walked up to Dia, stretched out her white fingers and scratched Dia's smooth face, and giggled, "That's before!"

"Huh?" looked at Lilith in amazement, and Dia had a strange illusion that this former best friend always felt something different......

In the meantime, Soth had returned to the dean's office at Helirian Oaks Academy, and as he had said, he still had a lot of papers to sign today.

But to his surprise, there seemed to be someone waiting there in the office early......

"Soth!" When Soth walked into the office, Gianna, who was sitting on the sand waiting for him, quickly stood up, with a little unnaturalness, and greeted him in a low voice, "They said I could come in, so ......"

"Oh," Soth was stunned as he looked at Gianna's writhing appearance, closed the room, and said with a little embarrassment, at a loss, "That...... What's the matter with me?"

"What's the matter...... whispered, Gianna's eyes showed a deep sense of loss, and she whispered, "Can't I come to you if there's nothing to do......"

"No, I didn't mean that," Soth said awkwardly, waving his hand, "I just think...... You haven't shown up since that day, so I'm ......"

"I wanted to come over, but ......" Biting her lip, Gianna secretly glanced up at Soth, like a xiaonv child who had done something wrong, and whispered, "I didn't expect that there would be such a misunderstanding, I ...... I'm afraid that you will be misunderstood, so I haven't dared to ......" she seemed to muster up her courage, raised her head, showed a pleading look, and whispered, "Trust me, Soth, it's not what you think, I just ...... at that time It's just that...... Drunk...... Yes, drunk!"

"Drunk?" Soth's expression suddenly became very strange, but since Gianna said so, he naturally didn't want to say anything more, shrugged his shoulders, and pretended to be relaxed, "Well, you all said that it was a misunderstanding, so you don't need to investigate it in detail......

"The ......," interrupted Soth in a hurry, and Gianna looked at Soth timidly, and whispered in a tone of infinite anticipation, "Will you still admit that I am your sister?"

Thinking back to Gianna taking care of herself, Soth's heart welled up with warmth, nodded, and said, "Ah, it will!"

"Really?" looked at Soth with distrustful eyes, Gianna whispered, "Is that okay......"

As if to understand her thoughts, Soth shook his head and called softly, "Sister......"

"Uh-huh!" Gianna seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief as if she had just breathed a sigh of relief, but then, she walked up to Soth, held out a finger, and said expectantly, "Can you call me again?"

"......" Actually, the sound of his sister just now had already made Soth feel very embarrassed, but looking at Gianna's expectant gaze, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he called out again helplessly.

But......

"Uh-huh...... Hmm, one more scream, one last ......."

After repeating it two or three times, Soth couldn't help it anymore and said angrily, "Don't go too far, Nina!"

After hearing the familiar [Nina], Gianna was stunned, and then, the surging tears flowed out of her bright eyes, which caught Soth a little off guard, subconsciously held her arm, and said at a loss, "Don't, don't do this, my name is just ......"

"No, it's not like that," Gianna wiped away the tears from her face, looked up at Soth and muttered, "I'm happy, very happy, I've never been so happy in all these years...... I've never been so happy as I am today," she said, she touched her head with a bit of a joke, and said unusually gently, "Grow up, Soth, my dearest brother, it's okay to see you, it's okay, my sister is really happy......"

"Ahh

"Isn't there anything you want to say?" Gianna said lightly, as if to remove the worry in her heart, "For example, I miss you very much, sister, I miss you very much, I miss you very much...... As she spoke, she lowered her head as if she suddenly sensed something, and said dryly, "Yes...... I'm sorry, Soss, I ...... Got used to ......"

Soth naturally understood the meaning of her words, because the second half of what Gianna said just now was obviously in a provocative tone, which really didn't look like the tone that she should have for her brother.

Since meeting Gianna that day, Soth has regained all his previous memories, and now he can't help but secretly curse Weston for what the old guy Weston taught Nina!

But in this regard, he clearly blamed the Grand Wizard of Weston......

"Soth?" Seeing that her brother didn't speak for a long time, Gianna seemed to be a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "I...... I'll try to change it, no, I'll definitely change it, so ...... So ......"

As if noticing Gianna's anxious gaze, Soth shook his head slightly and said softly, "What kind of person you are, I know better than anyone else......

Gianna was stunned, and then her face showed a look of relief, she gently hugged Soth's waist, pillowed her head on his chest, and said jokingly, "I should call Sister Sister, it's too much!--However, I'm really happy to hear this!" As she spoke, she raised her head, and saw Soth's embarrassed expression, and chuckled habitually, "Hee-hee, you're shy!-Are you afraid that your wife will be jealous?...... As soon as the words fell, she noticed that her tone was wrong, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, lowering her head and not daring to look directly at Soss's gaze.

"......" Soth shook his head speechlessly, walked to the window and opened it, then turned to Gianna and said, "Me and Ivy are not ...... as you think," and he told his sister exactly what happened.

"Oh oh......" Gianna nodded suddenly, as if there was still an inexplicable joy, and said jokingly with a grin, "So, my brother is actually still single?"

"Well, that's not ...... either," said Soth, who told Gianna about his relationship with Dia.

"Huh?" Gianna seemed to be a little dumbfounded, the inexplicable joy in her heart was gone, she looked at Soth and sighed, and said, "It's good, my brother already has someone he likes......

Seeing that Gianna's expression was a little wrong, Soth asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing...... Gianna, who was thinking about something, came back to her senses, shook her head again and again, then thought about it, and said, "That...... Well, in order to urge you, I am going to move to Vando!"

"Huh?"

"Yes," Gianna nodded, and said as a matter of course, "You're now the dean of Reochs Academy, which is great, but you're so naughty when you were young, I'm going to move to your neighborhood in order to urge you......"

"......" Soth's expression suddenly became very strange, because Lavia, who has been idle lately, came over almost every day to [urge] him, plus this one, is he still alive?

"Can't you?" asked Gianna, slightly disappointed.

Sos understands her thoughts, after all, she has been the person she cares about the most since Xiao, and when she meets again after many years of separation, it is not incomprehensible that she wants to see her brother all the time, but she is a little troublesome......

"It's not impossible to ......"

"Then it's decided!" Gianna grinned, winking in her habit, and then bowed her head again as if she had done something wrong.

Covering his forehead weakly, Soth had a vague [unknown] premonition about his future life.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the hallway, and then the mén in the office was pushed away without a bang......

There is no one else who can do this kind of thing now, except for Allen, and Lavia will at least knock on Mén before she comes in.

Looking at the panting teenager who was snuggled up to Mén, Soth rolled his eyes and said speechlessly, "Hey, Alan......"

But at this moment, Allen's expression was very serious, I saw him take a few deep breaths, looked at Soth and said in a very heavy tone, "You've arrived?" That's great, I just received a message from Sister Abel, something happened to Vander!"

"Brahman...... Vander?" Soth was stunned, his eyes suddenly became solemn, and he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

It seemed that the matter was really urgent, and even Alan, who commended the prudence of the knights, did not bother to salute Gianna, and hurriedly said, "About half a month ago, a man who called himself Beria broke into Vandel and almost single-handedly destroyed the entire Vander, taking away the secret book of astrology written by Adrian Clinc, a prophet of the previous generation, a famous astrologer, and a sage......

"Ancient Ruins, Thunder Tower Vander?" As if thinking of something, Gianna said in surprise, "Isn't Vandel claimed to have the strongest shield in the Empire?"

Alan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Sister Beria said that the other party is too strong to play any role at all, and Vander's protective shield is like tissue paper in the eyes of the other party......

"Now ......"

As if seeing Gianna's expression, Alan exhaled slightly, barely showed a slight chuckle, and said, "The casualties are actually not serious, just a psychological blow, but the settings in the tower have been damaged a lot...... Sister Abel means that in order to give birth to this kind of thing again, she is going to move Vandel to Vandor, after all, the magician of Sgdal has now moved here, so let you prepare in advance......"

"I see!" Soth nodded slowly, glanced out the window with a complicated look, and muttered, "Belial......"

Sure enough, my premonition came true......

--Back to half a month ago, Vander--

Ever since the Alliance left Scottel to attack Sasson, Abel's mind had not been stable, and as a gifted astrologer, she had a vague sense of foreboding.

At first, she thought that the Alliance would lose the battle with Argus, but then she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but in addition to the relief, the doubts in her heart did not disappear, but intensified.

In those days, she paid close attention to Vandor and Scottel almost all the time, but she didn't notice anything abnormal, until one day, she suddenly heard the magician in the tower come to report that a man named Belial had broken into the tower, and that it was a spatial teleportation magic......

That's impossible!

But looking at the solemn expression of the magician, she had to believe it.

Using space teleportation magic directly into the interior of Vander, Abel can't believe that this kind of thing is born, as the Vander's defensive force, the three obelisks that are each wind, ice, and thunder, among which the obelisk representing the wind can cut off any space teleportation magic in the tower, which means that no one can invade from the outside in the way of spatial teleportation, even if the elders of Vanderle can use the teleportation magic to get out, but they can only return to the tower in an honest and practical way [bubble], who is the other party?

When Abel hurried to the hall on the first floor, it was already overcrowded, and the magicians who were still in Vander's were cautiously holding their wands around the mysterious magician standing in the hall and the two companions beside him......

In his hurry, Abel strangely saw one of Vander's elders, the famous alchemist of the day, Professor Kilbard, after staring at each other in amazement for a long time, he suddenly lost his voice in astonishment and said, "Kane, that's a chess puppet, King Kane, right?"

Abel subconsciously glanced at the mysterious magician, the guy whose whole body was wrapped in the gorgeous heavy armor of the black sè.

"Didn't you destroy the king's puppet?" said Old Professor Wellman, in surprise.

"yes, it's ruined, so, it's impossible...... Impossible!" Kierbad shook his head incessantly, looked at the puppet in black sè armor like a lost soul, and muttered, "Except for the armor face is different, everything else is exactly the same, this is impossible, absolutely not!"

"Are they puppets made by other alchemists?" said a mage.

"No," Shaking his head, the Great Elder of Vandall, the Great Elder Bernie Gilves, who usually looked demented, looked at the mysterious magician in front of him with solemn eyes, frowned and said, "The drawings of the puppets made by the Meikande people have been kept in Vandel, and it is impossible to leak them, although it may be made by other alchemists, but since Kierbad, who is an alchemist, said so, he must have this confidence......" As he spoke, he slammed the crutches in his hand and said in a deep voice, " Who is your Excellency, and what is the purpose of breaking into Vander?"

Just as everyone was holding their breath, the mysterious magician lifted the cloak on his head, revealing a silver-gray head, only to see him smile faintly, stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist slightly, and said in a deep voice, "The secret book of astrology written by the prophet Adrian Clinch, the famous astrologer, and the sage, give it to me!--Otherwise, I will raze Vander to the ground!"

Almost as soon as he lifted his cloak, Abel stared at each other in disbelief with wide-eyed eyes, like so many of the elders.

"Suo...... Soth
