Chapter 152: Framed
"Abek, congratulations on your success in becoming an Arcanist!"
"Epps, thank you." Although Alberke had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of sadness, looking at his excited old friend, Alberke thought about it several times, but he didn't know how to speak.
Immersed in joy, Epps is unaware of this, and is planning how to announce the good news to the public!
"Alberk, I'm going to hold a big celebration in the realm to celebrate your success in becoming an Arcanist, and just in time to show those who covet us that the Arcane heritage of the Savile Territory has never been broken!"
"You can decide this, but don't be too high-profile, my forty-something arcanist has to brag about!"
"Abbeck, can I think you're mocking me?" Epps feigned anger and put on a straight face.
"No, absolutely no Sakura" Alberke hurriedly begged for mercy, and changed the topic,
"Eps, during our absence, the territory is in trouble."
"What's the trouble? Do those people still dare to knock on the door? ”
"No, Epps, maybe it's worse than that, when I advanced before, I felt Mayor Sein mention my name repeatedly, and many others mentioned it too." Hearing this, Epps's face suddenly changed, it was indeed inappropriate to be disconnected from the outside world for so long,
"Let's get out quickly, and let the magic net here recover on its own."
"Okay." After the two left, the elements and energies that had been suppressed by Abbeck in the spell laboratory immediately went wild, and the manifestations of various elements and energies also appeared.
Howling winds, splashing water, falling stones, and lightning and thunder, mixed with ice, fire, and soot, all made this spell lab a mess.
…… Town office, town mayor's office. The color had darkened, and Mayor Sean and the territory's military chief, Corn, were arguing, and Koryan disagreed to continue the search, arguing that it would be almost night, and the search would cause chaos and might give people an opportunity to take advantage of it.
However, Seon believes that even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of demon summoning, he should not let his guard down, and the remaining corpses and summoning props must be searched as soon as possible.
While the two were arguing, Lord Epps and Alberke suddenly appeared in Sein's office, making the two who were already nervous even more nervous, and thought that the mastermind behind the scenes had come to the door.
Ke Yann even subconsciously pulled out the one-handed sword at his waist, and after seeing clearly that it was the lord and Abek, he quickly inserted it back.
"Your Lord!"
"Your Excellency, you've come just in time!" Sein hurriedly explained the crisis facing the realm and the argument between him and Koyan, hoping that Lord Epps would make a decision as soon as possible.
But I didn't expect that the more Lord Epps listened, the more ugly his face became,
"Okay, no, I've got it. Keyan, you go first and ask the soldiers to stop searching, and immediately go back to the barracks and wait for orders. ”
"Yes." Ke Yaen answered, and turned to leave. Epps again,
"Where are the corpses and the wood carvings that were found?"
"It's all stored in the Mage's Tower, and Leonard is in charge." Sain replied.
"Okay, that's the end of this matter, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future."
"But Eps, what about the Demon Summoning?" Seon did not dare to refuse the lord's order, but he was still worried about the safety of the territory.
As soon as he heard this, Epps became even more angry, and said to Alberke,
"Explain it to Theon." When he was done, he sat down in the chair behind Theon's desk, and flipped through the paperwork on the desk.
And Alberke also sighed and explained: "Sarn, this matter should not have been hidden from you, but at that time, in the face of the orc war, everyone had a lot of things to deal with, so I didn't tell you. ”
"What the hell is going on? You've been hiding it from me last time, and this time it's like this, I-"
"Brother Theon, it's all my fault, I forgot, don't blame Eps, he had to prepare for a surprise attack on the orcs at that time, and he had to beware of Archmage Oron, it was difficult to take care of it." Alberke's sincere words softened Sein's mood a lot, although he grew up with Alberck and the lord almost together, but the lord is a lord after all, and a mage is a mage after all.
"Well, what the hell happened this time? Why is Epps so angry? ”
"This matter can be as far as the first lord, the merchant named Fairbers, his ancestors came with the first lord to open up the territory, and he helped the first lord a lot, and even the construction of the mage tower was helped by the Liaton Chamber of Commerce." Alberke first explained the origin of Fairbers, and then said,
"However, it was only last year that we suddenly learned that Fairbes had already taken refuge in Her Royal Highness the Princess, with a secret mission."
"Which princess?" Sein hurriedly asked, realizing that the problem might be a bit serious.
"Who else could it be? Of course, the one from the Nethrel family! "There are many princesses in the Empire, and as long as the family history dates back to the establishment of the Council of Severington, any daughter of a Grand Arcanist can be called a princess.
But only the one from the Nessera family is the Grand Arcanist, and the title princess usually refers specifically to the one from the Nessera family.
Hiss-Sean gasped, there was no Grand Arcanist in another territory, and even if there were, could it still be compared to that princess?
Sein felt the pressure come a little suddenly, a little too heavy.
"And that's not all!" Alberke sighed again,
"The kind of statue you searched for before is actually the statue of Her Royal Highness the Princess, could you have something to do with the demon summoning?"
"No, absolutely not!" Sain said immediately, but then with a bitter face,
"So what now?"
"What else can I do, I can only let this matter settle down first! After a while, people will forget about it, but there is also the death of Fairbers, and I only hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will not pursue it. Alberke was worried.
And when he thought of the scene he had foreseen in the process of advancement before, Alberke was even more worried!
I thought that the territory would solve the orc tide, and then it would usher in great development, but I didn't expect that there was a sudden feeling of the end coming.
"Eps, I don't think it's better to hold a celebration."
"No, it's going to be as usual, and it's going to be even more high-profile." Lord Epps said resolutely,
"I'll go to Severton and look for Lord Orone."
"Looking for him?" Alberk didn't understand why he had suddenly been involved with Archmage Orone.
"Yes, do you remember what Lord Olon said before he left after the raid on Wolf God Mountain? He is also a member of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he specially asked me to remember to look for him when I go to Severnton! What do you mean? ”
"He's trying to woo you?"
"This should be it, and in that case, I did what he wanted. As long as I still have use value, I will be needed and will not be abandoned. Maybe after leaning on the princess, the territory will develop faster! Having said that, there was still a trace of bitterness in Epps's eyes, as well as unwillingness, how important it was for the territory to develop independently, as it was known from the fact that the first lord gave up the mature territory in the core area of the empire and chose to come to this wilderness to explore.
And now he is going to the old path of many territories in the empire, and choosing to join the Seven Towers Group may be able to help, but it is also a clamp, and he will even be implicated.
Last time, Archmage Oron took a trip to Saville, and the territory was already labeled as a princess, and this time it may be implicated.
