As the mission progressed further north, the weather became colder and the snow began to increase so frequently that it obscured most of the view, and if it weren't for the hardy trees planted on both sides of the trail, the most elite scouts would have gotten lost along the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"So you don't know, what types of magic are there and what are the characteristics of each?"

Tails tightened the cloak he had put on the day before, covering his head and face tightly, and asked Ramon.

This was the second time they had set up camp and rested, at the junction of the Weyland Territory and the Rebuild Tower in Exeter.

After passing through the Lyman Pass, they walked a short hilly distance, and after crossing the territory of the Grand Duke of the Reconstructed Tower, they began to turn northwest along the course of the hills.

Soon it will enter the realm of the Grand Duke of Weilan.

And once it crosses the territory of the Willan Domain, the direct Grand Duke's territory of Nunn VII, Longxiao City is close at hand.

"I don't know the full picture of magic, I should say. Ramon shook his head.

"There are many different schools and types of magic, and there are always weirdos who dig up new schools and research disciplines on top of their existing knowledge," Ramon said, sitting by the fire, to Tails beside him, "but apart from the solitary aliens, most mages have their own distinct belongings. ”

"Belonging?" Tails' eyes lit up, "You mean ......"

"In ancient times, mages gathered, and they belonged to magical institutions. Ramon's eyes lit up:

"Three magic towers. ”

Magic Tower?

Tails jerked his head, and the words he had received while investigating the mage's origins in the Mindis Hall came back to him.

"I've heard about it," Tails' eyes lit up, "So, the ancient mages gathered in the three magic towers to do research?"

"The Three Magic Towers are not just three towers, not just three locations," Ramon mused, "Mages are not weirdos nesting in towers, it is said that the Three Magic Towers represent the three attitudes and values of being a mage. ”

"What attitude?" Tails asked curiously, "you mean the mage's attitude towards knowledge?"

Ramon shook his head, "I don't know—it's hard to find information about mages in the past. ”

Tails sighed, "Okay. ”

"What are the three magic towers? Don't you know?"

Ramon nodded, smiling, "I'm still clear about that. ”

He stole around and saw Eda dozing off in the fire to the side, Putile and Kambida arguing about something in the distance, Wya's attempt to communicate with Rolf ended in failure, and Tulha took the scouts to scout the road ahead, and before he returned, the surrounding Sergeant Exeter seemed to get used to them.

Seeing that they were still far away and still far away, Ramon cautiously approached Tails, and held out his finger towards the snow in the field of vision that only the two of them could see.

"First of all, the Tower of Ascetics. ”

Ramon lightly drew a square on the ground that had turned 45 degrees, with one corner facing downward, and connected the diagonal lines of the squares, and drew a cross in it: "From what I have read, they are the oldest group of mages, and even in the period of ignorance, before the battle of the saints, the Tower of Ascetics appeared...... But they're also the most mysterious, and I don't know what they're doing, and I haven't looked up much about them. ”

Tails frowned.

"Secondly, the Alchemy Tower. ”

Ramon drew a circle, and on the left and right sides of the circle, he drew two triangles, each with an angle pointing outward, and the side of the circle near the triangle was an arc, which matched the arc of the circle, and Ramon drew a small circle in the center of the circle - Tails recognized it, and the pattern was like an eye.

Ramon continued: "As the name suggests, the Alchemy Tower is said to be an important aid to the victory of the humans over the orcs, and their works are all prepared for war or use, and some of the products are still available today, and are rare in the hands of a few. ”

"Finally, the Tower of Souls. ”

Ramon drew two more "S" shapes, and the upper and lower semicircles of the two S's overlapped each other, this pattern is particularly strange and the meaning is unknown.

"There are all kinds of information about them, ranging from them to the protectors of the world, to the Empire, to the fact that they are at odds with the other two magic towers, and even that their presence has brought a lot of chaos to the world, and is simply the root of all evil...... I can't understand what I'm studying...... Apparently they are different from the other two magic towers. ”

Ramon looked at Tails, who nodded in his memory, and the doctor quickly reached out and nervously erased the three patterns bit by bit.

"That's all I know, and as for the rest, I don't know anything about the inheritance, characteristics, history, and origin of the three magic towers...... Knowledge of magic is so completely banned," Ramon sighed, "Also, these three patterns should never be drawn in front of anyone, such as Morat...... There will be trouble. ”

Tails raised an eyebrow: "Then you are so relieved to draw it in front of me, am I so trustworthy?"

Ramon turned his head, revealing that strange look again.

"Trust?hey," Ramon chuckled, his big nose twitching, "I don't think you're interested in magic for no reason." ”

"The ability to deflect a magic gun......"

Tails' pupils twitched.

Damn, he still cares.

"I always felt like it wasn't an ability," Ramon laughed, "it must be some kind of magic, but I don't know it yet." ”

"That's why you're so hungry for news of magic, right?"

Some kind of magic?

Exactly...... Tails said in his heart: Your reasoning is correct.

Tails looked at him steadily.

"The new prince and the next king of the stars is not only interested in magic, but even has some kind of magical power," Ramon smiled, and the withered honor made Tails sick to his stomach, "It's exciting to think about......"

Tails let out a long sigh and pondered the knowledge he had heard from Ramon over the past few days.

"So, the three magic towers no longer exist?" said the traverser silently.

Ramon's smile froze.

He clasped his hands and lowered his head, his body slumped.

"So, supposedly," the strange doctor wiped a snowflake from his nose and sighed, "Do you know the magician?"

"They're not the slightly stronger warriors that ordinary people think of, in fact, ......"

Tails flipped three times in his mind.

Got it!

"Well," the second prince said quietly, "As a royal family, I know some things about magicians...... They are an immortal calamity. ”

Ramon looked at Tails, his eyes full of solemnity: "Exactly...... It is said that everyone from the governments of the kingdoms, to the churches of the gods in heaven, and even the demons of hell fear them...... I'm afraid that they will one day come back and start a second battle of the end. ”

"So, the calamity was the main cause of the destruction of the Magic Tower?" Tails said, stunned.

Ramon straightened his collar and looked extremely serious.

"I don't know if it was the calamity that destroyed the magic tower," Ramon whispered, "but I believe that the so-called calamity, the so-called magician, the magic tower, are all the products of the mage's research. ”

"So," Tails said incredulously, "everything in the world about magic, inheritance, knowledge, history, is deliberately forbidden?"

Ramon exhaled deeply: "Exactly...... I guess there are people who don't want to see a new calamity. ”

Tails frowned deeply: "Magic brings uncontrollable risks, so simply shut down and ban all magic?"

"That's stupid," Tails sighed, "because of fear of possible magicians and their power, so magic was forbidden...... What a short-sighted and stupid decision......"

"I agree with you on this point," Ramon clenched his fists, "It is precisely to fight against the mages and their dangers that we need to seek possibilities from magic, right?"

"Although the three magic towers have been destroyed, their ruins should always exist, right?" Tails rubbed his chin, "You didn't try your luck there?"

"Ruins?" Ramon said with a grim look on his lips, "That's the worst part...... Damn the nations, they have looted and destroyed almost every trace of information about magic, mages, and magic towers, and I can't even find out where the ruins of the magic tower are!"

Tails frowned deeply: "Maybe I can wait until I return to China and check it in the royal family's records......"

"Don't mention it, especially you stars," Ramon snorted coldly, "Your founding ancestor, the Great King of Revival, Tormund I, has personally ordered that all traces of magic related to the stars be completely removed!"

Tails was stunned.

"And more than 600 years ago, the enforcer of forbidden magic was the Secret Branch of the Founding Kingdom," Ramon said hatefully, "I finally found a trace in Exeter - they called it ......"

"The Pure World Project!"

Tails stared at the snow in a daze, pulling his cloak tighter.

"How did they do it?" the traverser looked up, "If magic was ever as important as you say it was......"

"And they just did it!"

Ramon raised his head, his eyes full of hatred: "In the decades since the end of the war, the kingdoms have imprisoned all the remaining mages, looted books, scrolls, records, artifacts about magic, and even investigated all those who had close contact with mages...... The point is that they erase all traces of magic from history......"

"Of course, all those who intend to study magic and revive magic will immediately become a thorn in the side of various institutions and the churches of the Temple of God once they find out, and they will not hesitate to remove ...... directly."

"Just to make sure the magic doesn't happen again!"

They all fell silent.

For a moment, all you could hear was the crackling of flames and the bitter howling of the cold wind.

"If the Pure World Project of six hundred years ago was in charge of the Kingdom Secret Branch, then there may still be a lot of information left in the Secret Branch...... Tails muttered.

"Well, it's going to dig up something from the kingdom's secret department......" Tails sighed.

“...... It's even harder than breaching the Broken Dragon Fortress. Ramon stared coldly at the fire, adding to Tails' words.

Wait a minute.

Tails remembered a question, and he gave him a strange look.

"Doctor," he said slowly, "Morat isn't the first head of the Mystical Branch, is he?"

"Nonsense, the secret department was founded more than six hundred years ago when the stars were founded," Ramon snorted coldly and let out a long breath: "Morat...... He's a human, not an immortal or an eternal!"

Tails rolled his eyes.

It's pitiful that emotional intelligence isn't enough.

"You didn't understand what I meant...... I mean," Tails said angrily, "who is the first head of the Kingdom Secret Branch, the person in charge of the Purification Project?"

Ramon froze, then turned to look at Tails.

"This would be a clue," Tails rubbed his hands red from the cold and exhaled a puff of mist, "No matter how terrifying and mysterious the secret science is, how can it be precise, efficient, and meticulous...... But as long as it is an organization, it must depend on its members, that is, the behavior and psychology of human beings. ”

"And people are always complicated," Tails blinked, "do you see what I mean?"

Ramon frowned.

"Two. ”

"What?" Tails asked, confused.

Ramon looked around again vigilantly, then turned back and said:

"Two people, six hundred years ago," the strange doctor lowered his voice, "In the 38th year of the end calendar, two people led the kingdom secret department and were responsible for the specific implementation of the Pure World Plan......"

"Very well," Tails said silently, "even if it has been six hundred years, we can always find their past...... Who are those two people?"

Ramon chuckled and spat out two names.

The first one made Tails change color.

"Leinster Cavendier. ”

"The first head of the kingdom's secret department," Ramon said with interest, "and one of the six giants of the Star Kingdom, the first owner of the Cavendier family, the first Duke of Iris." ”

Tails' eyes widened.

Ramon continued:

"And his deputy. ”

"Halwa Kalabyan. ”

"One of the thirteen wang clans, the first head of the Twin Towers Longsword, the first Earl of Walla, and the later kingdom 'Zhixiang'. ”

As Tails pondered the two names and the meaning behind them, a loud roar from the Exeter Sentinel pierced the windswept Northland sky.

"Alert!"

The elite Exeter sergeants around him immediately pulled out their blades, and countless metal unsheaths sounded in unison, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Different from the group battle formation of the stars, these Northland Men had serious faces, but they did not panic, and they stood in groups of two with their backs to each other, standing scattered on the periphery of the camp, facing the cold wind and snow around them.

The light cavalry mounted their horses in unison at the command of their commander and rushed to the perimeter, while the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry began to armor as soon as possible.

Eda sprang to Tails' side, followed by Wyaa and Rolf.

"Be vigilant," the elven guard who didn't know how old he was said was heavy, "It's really unlucky...... Another army. ”

Army?

The second prince's heart moved.

Under the moonlight, the sharp vision transformed by the fluctuations allowed Tails to quickly see the source of the threat.

In the northern part of the camp, in the unclear snow, countless heavily armed cavalry figures appeared.

Light armor, gray clothes, white horses, masked.

Swift but silent.

Almost blends in with the surrounding snow color.

"In such weather......" Putirai, who came from the rear, frowned: "It's the elite." ”

These cavalrymen, who did not look good at stubble, suddenly dispersed a hundred meters in front of them.

Scattered but orderly towards them......

Outflanked. (To be continued.) )
