Fortunately, the murderous spirit was not aimed at Curt. - Although both Hogg and Madison had bruised foreheads, and their cloaks fluttered in the wind. But what really angered them was Maxim, a lewd, and insidious trafficker. Maxim had just hired someone to deliver a message to Fretia asking her to leave the city immediately. Otherwise, you do so at your own risk.

Half a month ago, Maxim abducted a group of children from a village near Silvermoon City, and caught two elven children while passing through the forest. So the joint pursuit group of elves and humans was immediately organized, led by the killer advisor provided by the Lord of Silver Moon City, and followed the clues left by Maxi Road to Qianfa City.

In the City of a Thousand Laws, a squad without mage members is in trouble. They were not allowed to move freely in the Thousand Laws City, and Maxim was protected by the serpent of the land, and did not know where to hide.

β€œ...... So we went to an underground auction and wanted to ransom the children back with the money. It is a pity that the cunning Maxim did not show his tail, and we could not find him. ”

After a long speech, and without any emotional ups and downs, Fretia painted a rough outline of the matter. Curt listened quietly, then poured the second cup of tea for Fretia. After accepting the other party's thanks, Curt said very depressedly:

"You came to me to try to pull me in, right? You think my sense of justice will erupt like a volcano, and I will take you to the field regardless of it. Maxim's grudge doesn't matter...... Oh, he's probably going to be killed. It doesn't matter if I offend the sacred snake who doesn't know where it is, and I won't even take the investigation of the trial mage to heart. Guys, do you think so?"

In the midst of the killer Quentin's 'snort' chuckle, the two guards slumped their shoulders. Fretia stared at Curt quietly and said in a steady tone:

"Yes, I think that's the kind of person you are. ”

Curt suddenly had a complicated expression on his face, and he nervously twisted his fingers. Fretia continued to stare at him intently, and said very sincerely:

"I am the pastor of the true God, Corellon, and I am able to see the faith of others with the eyes of my heart. You don't come forward for nothing, except for things about children. You've been trafficked before, right? The true god Corellon has watched you, and he knows your past. ”

'Another woman who should be [beep-] then [beep-], then [beep-], then [beep-], then [beep-]. ’

Curt pondered wickedly, then looked up. He looked at the two guards who were sympathizing with him, and muttered to himself:

"The next time I see an elf, I'll be sure to run faster than a rabbit. By the way, noble lady, please answer, what am I thinking now?"

The second half of the sentence was addressed to the elf, so Fretia turned her head sideways and muttered for a while, and said with confidence:

"You're imagining the process of mating with me, and it's in a weird position. ”

Curt wasn't split in half by his two-handed heavy sword on the spot because he was fast enough.

After sealing off his brain with his psychic abilities, Curt sat back in his chair. He frowned and thought about it, feeling that this inexplicable thing was simply too tricky. As far as Fretia knew, Maxim was a very powerful mage. He believes in the evil god Shirek, and may be able to use magic as well.

Curt began to recall the basic common sense of the casterβ€”the arcane, the art of mystery, that is, magic. Divine grace is a gift from God, that is, divine magic. Divine sorcery is another manifestation of magic, which is given directly to favored believers by the gods. It comes in a variety of forms, almost as much as the intricacies of magic. Suppose Maxim is a master of both magic and magic...... Curt really didn't want to provoke him.

Not to mention that Shirek is one of the most powerful gods, known for being ferocious, insidious, insane, and venicapable. There is nothing good to be gained from the followers of Shirek, and it is not much different from stupidly banging your head against a wall. But it's about a group of kids...... Curt reluctantly recalls how he had frozen half to death in the moonlit sea before being picked up by the Druid Elders.

In the end, Kirt nodded and made up his mind.

"I can help you. ”

Curt rubbed his forehead and struggled to speak. With the intently watched attention of the eight eyes, he continued thoughtfully:

"But I have the conditions, you all hear clearly. First of all, Lady Fretia, please be able to see through the invisibility for me, whether it's magic or magic. Otherwise, when I work with an experienced spellcaster, I will be a living target if I can't see the target. ”

"Yes. ”

Fretia nodded without hesitation, and Curt offered the second condition.

"I am not allowed to be mentioned on any occasion or in front of anyone. You can pat your ass and leave, but I still have to stay in the Thousand Laws City. Selling me may not be good for you, but I'm bound to be out of luck. ”

"Yes, I assure you in the name of Corellon. ”

Fretia nodded again, looking at the three companions. Hogg and Madison immediately drew their swords and raised them in front of their chests, swearing the glory of the Iron Guard. Quentin also casually raised his hand and made a promise to the secret god Vicna. Curt was satisfied, and then made one last request.

"Now please leave my mage's tower at once and go back to the inn. I will send monsters after you to show that I have set a line with you. Don't leave the hotel without my notice, except for Mr. Quentin, who can keep a low profile. Otherwise, an elf with two strong men is too conspicuous, and the pigs know what you want to do. ”

Fretia jumped lightly across the lake and ran at the front. Then came the two Iron Guards, who went on a rampage like wild boars. A large group of chaotic monsters chased the three people and disappeared in the direction of the street. Later, the Iron Guard will be responsible for disposing of the monsters so that they don't hurt innocent passers-by.

Curt slammed the tower door shut and walked to the reception room on the second floor. Quentin, who stayed behind, leaned against the wall and said with a grin:

"How's it going? Lady Fretia is a very funny person, isn't she?"

"It's so funny that it makes me want to cry. ”

Curt replied like a **** and sat down in his chair at the same time. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned to Quentin, who had nothing to do, and said:

"Mr. Quentin, I think you're the most flexible of the four. Frankly, in your ability, you should have asked about something, but you didn't tell Ms. Freitia, did you?"

"That's right. ”

Quentin nodded bluntly and said unceremoniously:

"Fretia is a brute bull. If I tell her the slightest bit of information worth digging into, she'll rush with the guards and be surrounded by the enemy and chopped into meat sauce. Elves are a stubborn race, sometimes more unreasonable than orcs. Fortunately, you are a smart man, and I will tell you everything I know, although not much. ”

"Thank you. ”

Curt remade the pot of tea and sat down at the table with Quentin. From Quentin's mouth, Curt gets some plausible rumors. Because there is so much speculation involved, it can only be regarded as better than nothing.

In the afternoon of the same day, Curt looked up the information for a long time. He found an eclipse-shaped emblem motif, a symbol of the evil god Ciric. The same emblem pattern Curt had seen elsewhere, in the crystal ball left behind by the ogre wizard Hinton.

"Praise our Lord and receive His glory. At the moment when you fulfill your promise, we will accept you as a brother. ”

In the image shown by the crystal ball, the man with the eclipse emblem said this. If 'he' is referring to Ciric, then Curt can consider the two things together.

What intrigues Curt is that cultists always carry magical items and even artifacts. If they can be cleaned up smoothly, Curt may not be unprofitable. Moreover, the Thousand Law City is opposed to most of the human gods, and the Thousand Law Council will definitely reward those who clean up the followers of Ciric.

Because just a hundred years ago, the mage was the ruler of the Big 6. The uncrowned king of the gods, the goddess of magic, Mistra, guards the caster. In the face of omnipotent spells, the sword was overshadowed.

Thousands of years passed, and the mages became proud and indulgent. They treated warriors like domestic animals, building towering mage towers. The mage-centered realms are spread across Big 6, and magic is a solid cornerstone of rule. Those who do not have the ability to cast spells are equal to untouchables, and there is no hope of getting ahead.

One day, suddenly, the goddess of magic falls without warning. The web shattered, turning all the mages into mortals. They were driven, killed, and tortured to death by long-standing grudge fighters. The remaining mages fled to the Northlands, a corner of the world. Just as the warriors came on an expedition to burn the newly built Thousand Law City, the magic net was dramatically restored.

The battle of the gods is a battle that the warrior and the mage will never forget. A tidal wave of warriors flocked to the Thousand Spells City, and then was crushed by a sudden rain of spells. Their blood stained the Mirror Lake red, and even flowed into the Moonlight Sea. The mages were invincible until the believers of the gods intervened.

Thousands of priests stepped forward and stubbornly resisted the mage's counterattack. The gods they believed in had mastered part of the magic net, and gave them amazing magic spells, which forcibly stopped the mages who wanted revenge.

After a protracted war, both sides finally realized that there would be no winner. So the leaders of warriors, mages, and priests sat down together and signed the "Covenant of Sword and Sorcery".

From that day on, the Thousand Laws City became the only mage kingdom. Mages were allowed to roam freely in the nations, but could no longer advance to the nobility. The warriors became the rulers of the vast majority of kingdoms while worshipping the gods. An unprecedented number of temples spread throughout the Great 6, firmly supporting the royal power with divine power.

This is the shame of the mages, the eternal gloom in their hearts. And it was Shirek, Lord of the Sun, who planned and carried out all the plots. The mages believed that it was Shirek who united the gods and brought down Mystra, the goddess of magic. Shirek is responsible for everything, and his Darksun followers are all damned!
