After the royal meeting was hurriedly ended, the Marquis of Haim and the chief of intelligence came to the dungeon where he cast the spell last time, and he had not patched the loopholes in the magic array here, and the main reason was that there was no time and lack of interest. However, there are advantages to this, as this is the only place in the Star Fortress where you can locate and teleport.

The sight of the mage casting a spell every time he was amazed, but only in his mind, of course, nothing was visible from his expression. He didn't have to ask Siegel to know something was wrong, as evidenced by the way he threw the bag of laundry to the ground.

"What is that woman thinking?! These clothes don't belong to anyone, and no one can find them! Without a medium, the positioning technique will be very wrong!" he bit his lower lip and forced himself to calm down. "I need to go to her and ask her in person. ”

"May I go with you?" said Vicky, "On the one hand, Viscount Bill's safety is very important, and His Majesty takes this matter very seriously, and I must do my best, and on the other hand, I also want to see the speed of the magic ship." ”

And for good reason, and Siegel also needs a guide who is familiar with the terrain and the situation. One of the advantages of being a military adviser is that the Xingsuo only needs to say a word to the chief of the guard, Ka****, when it leaves the royal capital, so Siegel called Shelley and Humm, and set off ten minutes later.

Siegel knows the general direction from the map, so he uploads it and immediately climbs to altitude and then accelerates. The Star Rope had reservations, and without Siegel's elemental control, she couldn't break through the sound barrier on her own. But the speed at which it was revealed had already amazed everyone, and even Master Shelley couldn't close his mouth in shock.

She was tempted to find out the secret, but Siegel was in a bad mood, and it was clearly not a good time to ask questions. In addition, the orcs were standing aside holding the spittoon ready to vomit, and the intelligence director was always expressionless and bored, so the cabin was very silent. Master Shelley couldn't help but feel worried about the other countess.

The Countess of Ferrarland's territory was dominated by forests and hunting grounds, with barley and grapes planted in the fields, and peach trees planted during Sir Bill's stewardship, adding new varieties to the original winemaking industry.

This is not a dangerous military fortress, the Countess's castle is more like a fortified inn. It has a lake and a small pier where pleasure boats can dock. Two anglers' favorite slender boats docked next to the pier. It leaves rippling ripples on the water.

Unceremoniously, the Xingsuo slammed into the lake with a snap, and the debris of the boat was thrown directly onto the dock.

"Hey, Siegel," Master Shelley raised an eyebrow and stamped his foot hatefully, "Don't be impulsive! Across the street are widowed ladies and fatherless children, not a place for you to go wild!"

Siegel paused, his eyes twitched, and he lowered his head and breathed deeply. He changed the spell and projected the Nineclawed Squid banner of the Heim Collar into the sky above the Starrope with an illusion. Its red-flaming eyes and fluttering tentacles frightened many people, but also identified the visitor.

Then he walked down the gangway with the crowd.

Outside, carriages and knights continued to rush in through the castle gates, and the courtyard was in chaos, filled with dirt, the smell of horses, the crash of armor, and the sound of shouting people. The magic ship was so fast that the patrolling guards had already landed in the lake before the patrolling guards could get the archers to stand on the walls.

What's the use of those horses, can they still step on the lake and rush onto the platform of the magic ship? There are two trebuchets on the highest platform of the castle. But apparently no, all the parts have not been assembled yet. However, even if they were fired at full strength, they would not be able to damage the Planet's outer armor - and even if they did, they would only cause abrasions that would be repaired quickly.

As a matter of fact. The chaos caused by the magic ship was even greater than he had imagined. The knights here had become accustomed to Sir Bill's presence and to acting according to his instructions, and now his departure led to a complete loss of order. The knights went their separate ways, and all kinds of news spread everywhere. Pirates, giant eagles, a mountain that has been smashed down, and the Star Rope has a lot of "reinforcements" that don't even exist at all, and even Siegel didn't encounter any obstacles when he walked into the courtyard.

Of course. It also has something to do with what he wears. He participated in the Imperial Council as a royal marquis, so the Elven Phaseless armor that could change its appearance presented a noble costume. Ribbons, brooches, and badges to indicate his identity, combined with the knight's demeanor and handsome appearance, no one thought of him as an intruder.

He walked straight to the inner courtyard directly across the dock, through a garden of oak and evergreen shrubs. Walking towards the castle. A young knight with armor in his hand and his sword scabbard still dragging on the ground suddenly burst into front of Siegel, his eyes, nostrils, and mouth all open in circles, and his fingers trembling and raised.

Siegel's eyes flashed, and he spit out the word "mystery" in his mouth, and the spell was already cast. The young knight hurriedly straightened his clothes and said anxiously, "Your Excellency, please go this way, the Countess is looking for you everywhere." ”

Siegel was moving too fast, and in order to catch up with his plan of action, the mage Shelley had to take two quick steps, stand between Hum and Vikki, place his hand lightly on their shoulders, and start casting spells. She explained: "The three of us are too conspicuous, don't move, I'll be invisible." ”

Siegel followed the young knight through the chaotic manservants and terrified maids to the second floor of the castle, in front of a closed door. There is no one to guard here, could it be that the panicked knights have forgotten.

"Countess?" the young knight knocked on the door, but no one answered. Vicky's shoulders shook and slipped out like a loach from under Shelley's slender fingers. He stepped out of the invisible range and slapped the young knight on the back of the neck quietly but with great agility, knocking him to the ground.

"They weren't here, they had left in a hurry. Before the servants destroy all the traces, hurry up and follow. ”

Siegel nodded, following behind the Chief of Intelligence. The orc hummed his head, "Really?" he twisted the doorknob hard, pulling the lock and door panel down. Behind the door is a lounge with steaming lemon tea, a few children's drawing boards, and a comfortable crib.

Hum Ke sniffed with his nose, and then said with admiration: "Sure enough, there is no one, they just left." How did he know?"

A hand grabbed his shoulder again, and Shelley once again brought the orc into invisibility. Vicky led the way, staring at the carpet as if he could make out footprints in its fluff. The servants who passed by him were all knocked unconscious with a light slap from him, and the arms, knees, and feet could make the fainted servants roll silently to the edge of the corridor and lie down. His martial arts are completely different from those of knights and warriors, all of which are created for the structure and vital points of the human body. If he encounters a fully armored Iron Warrior, his skills are of little use.

Siegel guessed that he must have other martial arts, not just this one.

"Right here, behind the wall is a secret passage, and that's where they left. Vicky looked around, "I'll need a while to figure out the trap." ”

"No, I don't. Siegel raised his hand to dissociate, and directly opened a large hole in the wall, presenting the slide behind it directly in front of everyone's eyes. Several people went down the slide, and after more than ten turns, they stood on the mat made of hay.

A woman in a matriarch's skirt is stroking the back of an older child with swaddling clothes. The three-year-old boy was retching incessantly because of the slide and panic. There were no guards on her side, except for a servant who was untying the rope a little farther away. It turned out that there was an underground river under the castle, which was converted into a secret passage for escape. From here, the lake flows into the mountain forests in the distance, and there may be an outlet somewhere in the hunting grounds.

When the woman saw the stranger appearing behind her, she hurriedly stuffed the swaddling clothes into the arms of the older children, and while blocking them behind her, she shouted, "Run, run!" She had no weapons, but she would never back away or run away.

"That's the guy you're looking for, yes. Wiki said.

"Mom, you run too, you run too!" The older child tugged his mother's skirt, and finally understood that his mother would not leave. He gritted his teeth and glanced at Siegel, and was about to turn his head to leave, when the culprit finally spoke.

"I'm sorry, Countess Ferrarán, but I'm Siegel Squid, Bill's apprentice. I was too reckless, but I had no ill will, at least not now. He looked at the resolute look on the face of the boy who was more than three years old, like Sir Tiger Beale. "It's me who needs Sir Bill's stuff to find him, and I'm worried about his safety. ”

"Sir Bill has nothing to do with me anymore, why do you keep pestering!" the Countess cried, tears streaming down like a waterfall, but she still straightened up in front of the children, "I don't know where he is, I really don't know!"

"She's too excited to listen now. Master Shelley lifted his invisibility, glared at Siegel and said, "Young people are too impulsive, what is the ability to scare women and children with authority!"

The old servant, who was busy at the small dock, hurriedly ran over, picked up the child and ran to the river. This is a loyal man, and it will be a great victory to keep the child in the current situation. But none of this meant much in front of the archmage, Siegel only said the word "ding", and he was completely immobile like a statue.

"I am truly Siegel Squid, Marquis of Heim, Archmage of the Federation, and apprentice of Tiger Bill. When you got married, I gave you a set of five companion rings, and when Janet and I got married, my master wrote us a congratulatory letter, but I didn't give anything. He patted himself on the head, then raised his hands in the air, letting the power of the spell fill the space. Shelley marveled at Siegel's ability to manipulate spatial spells, while Vicky relaxed his muscles and prepared for the power of the elements, while the others were teleported to the deck of the Starrope defenselessly.

"There are four magic ships in the world, two of them for His Majesty the King, and the one for the Federation is still in the New World. The ship in front of you is mine, the Celestial Rope of Heim's Territory. Siegel reluctantly explained, "It is possible that my face may be faked, but no one has imitated this magic spaceship." Countess, I'm Siegel Squid, I've come to Sir Bill. (To be continued.) )
