A bone-chilling chill ran down the vertebrae to the door of the brain, and then down the bones to the limbs. Archmage Aqiman woke up in this painful feeling.

Aqiman didn't know how long he had been unconscious, and he didn't know where he was, and gently lifted a thin blanket that he didn't know who had covered him, and the archmage sat up, but he immediately felt a wave of dizziness, accompanied by a pain that seemed to come from the bone marrow. Aqiman hurriedly closed his eyes, trying to find information about the scars and fatigue that covered his body in the veins of memory.

It was at the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild, and what happened after Archmage Aqiman was knocked unconscious by a burning beam?

I can't remember the details of the process, but Aqiman only remembers that after he was dazzled for a while, he was already taken into the air by the dark elf Nia, and with them was Isaac. The magic of the dark elf mage can fly into the air with two people other than herself at the same time, but it can't stop the dragon tooth knights on the ground from raising their crossbows, and the sound of the mages chanting magic adds to the threat, and the three people in the air, the dark elf Nia, the thief Isaac, and the archmage Aqiman, can turn into three hedgehogs scorched by fireballs or frozen by ice picks at any moment.

Thinking back to the scene, the archmage couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Although he had survived that crisis, the Archmage seemed to have forgotten the process. The archmage seemed to have done something that rendered all the bolts and magic fired at them useless, but how exactly they did it, Archmage Archmage Acheman himself couldn't remember. Came to mind in the archmage's memory. There was only darkness. The darkness feels so chilling. The archmage seemed to feel that his body and energy were being drained endlessly.

Just as the Archmage struggled to trace the fragments of his memory. Several people entered the room silently and came to the Archmage's bed.

A voice that Aqiman had heard rang out: "Mr. Aqiman, you have finally woken up, you have been in a coma for more than three days." ”

Aqiman hurriedly opened his eyes and barely saw the faces of the three people in front of him. It was Isaac, a thief from the Thieves' Guild, who was standing next to Isaac, the dark elf mage, and in front of Isaac and Nia, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance was looking at the archmage with a concerned expression.

"Three days, I've been in a coma for so long?" Aqiman noticed that his voice was a little more hoarse than before, and his mouth felt dry. This forced the archmage to close his mouth, trying to moisten his throat with the pitiful amount of saliva in his mouth.

"Yes, three whole days. I'm glad you woke up, and it proves that your two companions have not taken care of you in vain during these three days. The middle-aged man sat down on a chair in front of the Archmage's bed, and the Archmage noticed that the robes on his body were embroidered with the coat of arms of the Holy Asserr Empire. There was also a strange fluctuation that leaked through the middle-aged man's shirt, and Akiman felt that this feeling was very familiar, but he couldn't say that he had felt it there.

The archmage began to look into the room he was in. The decoration in the room is not very luxurious, but the provenance exudes a faint aristocratic atmosphere. But even Aqiman, who was not familiar with the standard of living of the inhabitants of the Holy Asserr Empire, was able to see it lightly. The furniture, carpets, and curtains were not luxuries that ordinary families could afford, even the thin blanket that covered the archmage. The delicate patterns and delicate handiwork on it were worth a week's salary from the demons.

"No, you don't have to get up, the injured need more rest. The middle-aged man stopped the archmage who was trying to stand up, and then began to introduce himself: "I am the Minister of State of the Holy Asserr Empire, Wesley Ruda. This is a secluded room in my baron's palace, where you can rest in peace and not worry about disturbances from outside. ”

"Chancellor's Office, how did we get here?" After drinking the glass of water that the dark elf Nia handed him silently, the archmage felt his throat feel much more comfortable, and continued to ask his own questions.

The Secretary of State smiled kindly: "Nia, this is a friend I have known for a long time. After leaving the Thieves' Guild, she took you straight to one of my houses in Onyx. ”

Nya is a friend of the Chancellor?mage wondered if this was possible, but unconsciously shook his head vigorously, and a dizzy sensation hit the nerve center of the archmage Aqiman, causing Aqiman to feel like he was about to faint again.

Seeing this, Isaac hurriedly stepped forward to support the archmage, and the Minister of State also stood up: "I think you still need to rest for a while before you can get out of bed and act." Nia, Isaac, or let's go outside and discuss where you are going next, as staying here for a long time is not conducive to Mr. Mage's rest. ”

The Minister of State left the room with Nia and Isaac, while Archmage Aqiman lay quietly on the bed, thinking about what was happening around him. Does the Minister of State know that he and the Devil are the murderers who single-handedly caused the death of Emperor Anfil XXXIV? and that Nia is friends with the Secretary of State is hardly convincing the Archmage of the Dungeon, and Aqiman is more convinced that Isaac is actually a subordinate of the Minister of State.

So, it was the Minister of State who was fighting for the Book of the Moon, and the Archmage thought to himself, then struggled to reach his chest. There was a colorless jade hanging from a white gold necklace, which contained a wind signal spell that the Archmage had prepared for a long time, and the magic energy that the Archmage had now injected into it with all his strength would activate this magic.

Aqiman felt a gentle breeze blow past him, and under the influence of the Wind Signal Technique, this breeze would bring the message of the Archmage to the ears of his Dungeon Master, the demon Amtils. After completing this qiē, Aqiman felt that he could no longer hold it on, so he closed his eyes and allowed himself to fall into a deep sleep again.

At the same time, a pair of blood-red eyes flickered in a dark corner of the Chancellor's Palace, as if they also felt the breeze with the message of the archmage. But nothing was done. Just quietly let the breeze drift to the demon Amtils in the basement of the "Sumer's Flaming Sword" weapons shop.

The demon Amtils and the dark elf Ness spent two days in Onyx City. Only then did they finally find the traces of the archmage Aqiman and the dark elf mage Nia.

Under normal circumstances, the demon could have found the location of the mage based on the message attached to the Archmage's Wind Signal Technique, and although the breeze really couldn't carry much information, it was enough to explain someone's whereabouts. But when the archmage cast this magic, he was too weak to utter a word, so all the demon got from the wind signal was the news that the archmage was still alive.

Despite this, the demon did not hesitate to leave the "Sumer's Flaming Sword" weapon shop and go out in search of his companion, and the dark elf Ness learned about it. He also insisted on going out with the demons, as Ness's sister, the Dark Elf Mage Nia, had disappeared with the Archmage. Another small reason is that although demons can change their appearance with their innate transformation magic, they can't hide the countless magic detectors erected on the streets, while Ness can use the disguise mask, a small prop used by thieves to cover the demon's red face, and can reveal the transfiguration or invisibility of people walking on the street without missing a leak, but it has no effect on the disguise mask at all. After all, those magic detectors appeared on the streets of Onyx City unknowingly two days ago, but they didn't know who they were used against, and the men of Edgar, the elder of the thieves' guild, investigated everywhere, and all they brought back was the news that these magic detectors were set up under the orders of Count Brad Crane.

Wear a disguise mask for a long time. It wasn't a comfortable thing to do, especially since the demon had to wear a long wig and a cloak that covered his wings. In the July sun, the demon was covered in sweat in less than ten minutes. But out of concern for his companions, or for his sister. The demon and the dark elf continued to wander the streets every day, trying not to miss a clue about it, and their persistence was clearly valuable, and as they approached the Chancellor's House this afternoon, the demon suddenly felt the dark fluctuations of Trist's staff.

Archmage Aqiman's Triste Staff exudes an extremely faint dark aura all the time, and this aura is so weak that even ordinary mages or saints can't feel the Trist Staff and this dark existence. Or maybe it was out of some kind of sensitivity, but the demon could feel the breath of the Trist Staff, the kind of evil that usually permeated the Abyssal Demon Realm.

The injuries on his body are close to healing, which is indeed good news for Archmage Aqiman, who is anxious to see his dungeon master, but on the other hand, it makes the archmage feel very worried: it has been two days since he woke up, and the fatigue of overusing magic that is wrapped around every bone and muscle in his body has always lingered. Yesterday, the archmage had been looking at his magic book all day, trying to memorize the magic he was already familiar with, only to find that his mind was almost like a mess of mashed potatoes, and there was no room for a single magic character, and today the situation was a little better, and after some hard work, the archmage finally prepared a magic that would help the archmage summon the demon Amtils to him. But before the archmage could pronounce the demon's name, the object he wanted to summon had already appeared outside the window of the archmage's room.

The discovery of the archmage in the Chancellor's Palace, one of the three giants of the Holy Asserr Empire, worries both the demons and the Dark Elves, and the process of infiltrating the Chancellor's Mansion is unexpectedly smooth, as the demons and the Dark Elves climb over the walls and through the gardens, but none of the guards notice their traces, or none of the guards appear. The journey was so smooth that even the demon could not help but express his gratitude to Tyr, the god of war, the legendary god who watched over every mercenary, which was the habit of the demon when he was still in the mercenary team, although no one believed in Tyr, the god of war, the god of justice, would cast his care and blessing on a demon, and the dark elf Ness, while chanting the holy name of the elven goddess Murat, saw her sister, the mage Nia, in front of a house on the edge of the garden on the side of the Chancellor's Palace. Nya immediately brought the demons and dark elves to Archmage Aqiman's room.

"Bastard, did you have a severed hand or a lost head? You want to me off and go back and invade my dungeon?" The demon can't wait to cry out. It doesn't matter if it will alarm other people. When the archmage saw the demon's figure, he immediately stopped the summoning spell at hand, and moved his foot in the direction of the doorway, but was almost knocked down by the dizziness that suddenly occupied his mind.

Fortunately, the demon saw the archmage's body shake for a moment, and immediately stepped forward to hold the archmage, otherwise the action of Aqiman lying on the ground would have knocked over the table in front of him, as well as a small magic circle painted on the table, and the two candles that were lit.

"I told you the demons would find this place on their own. Nia quietly put away the things on the table, but said a small complaint in her mouth: "Do you want to consume all the rest of your body before you are willing?"

Dark Elf Ness looked at her sister as she helped the demon move the archmage back to the bed, "It's better than you haven't even sent me a message these days, right?"

"What if we spread the word that we're here and let those Dragontooth Knights come to the door?" Nia's tone was always so calm: "What's going on outside. As you all know, the Dragontooth Knight's recent search has focused on just a few of us. ”

"What the hell was going on that day, how did you escape, and how did you get here?" the demon put a blanket over the archmage, and the archmage, like the demon, set his eyes on the face of the dark elf mage. Until now, the Archmage wasn't entirely sure what had happened that day, and he wanted to get an answer from Nia.

"I don't know what happened that day. With two people flying, I don't have the extra power to fend off those arrows and magic attacks. We thought that Murat was no longer looking after us, but suddenly a black mist poured out of Aqiman's magic pocket. It was this black fog that covered us from leaving. And then I brought them here, Baron Wesley Ruda, whom I knew before. He generously provided us with this place to recuperate.

Nia's account also includes the news from outside in the past few days, but the only one who listens carefully to her words is her sister Ness. The demon's attention was on the archmage's face. The eyes of the demon and the archmage met, and only one answer emerged: the black mist, from the Book of the Moon.

The demon Amtils, the dungeon lord of Mount Thor, was walking alone in the basement of the "Sumer's Flaming Sword" weapon shop, and the bright hallway made the demon feel a little unsure, as if he didn't know that he would fall down when he walked up the brick. Directly below this hallway, there was another dark tunnel that ran parallel to it, a corridor reserved for a few gray dwarves in the weapons shop, and the gray dwarves hated bright places, so they dug this passage almost completely unlit.

Except for the past few days, the demon has been out looking for clues about the whereabouts of the archmage, and most of the rest of the time has been spent in this special passage for the gray dwarves, listening to the gray dwarves' complaints about their relatives, those dwarves or mountain dwarves, and admiring the beautiful handicrafts of the gray dwarves. The weapons crafted by these gray dwarves brought excellent credibility and fame to the weapons shop of Edgar, the elder of the Thieves' Guild, and no one knew that the owner of the weapon shop was actually a halfling elder of the Thieves' Guild except for his own cronies, so the knights of Onyx City did not affect the members of the Thieves' Guild hiding in the basement for several days.

At this moment, the dungeon lord who found his companion returned to the "Flaming Sword of Sumer" again, but the dark elf Niss did not return with him. After hastily explaining to the Elder of the Thieves' Guild that Ness had stayed in the Chancellor's Mansion to accompany her sister Nia, the demon went straight into the dark passage of the gray dwarf without saying a word, "like a mouse that sees a cat", which is how the halfling elder describes the demon's actions.

In a way, Elder Edgar's description is actually very apt. In the Chancellor's Chambers, a strange, unsettling feeling enveloped the demon Amtils, neither from the Trist staff leaning against the wall of the archmage's ward, nor from the Archmage's bedside with the Book of the Moon, which had unleashed great power before it had even been opened, and the demon knew that there was someone from the Abyssal Demon Realm who was hiding in the Chancellor's house.

There is no doubt that the mysterious black mist that rescued the archmage Akiman, the dark elf Nia and the thief Isaac at the critical moment came from the Book of the Moon in the magic pocket of the archmage; At the same time, Aqiman also spoke out about his suspicions about the Secretary of State, and the demon felt the strange fluctuations in the Secretary of State who came in later.

When Baron Wesley Rueda heard that the Archmage's companion had arrived at the Chancellor's Palace, he came to see it, and told him that they could stay in the Chancellor's Mansion until the chaos in Onyx subsided, and Ness accepted the Chancellor's offer on the spot, and the demon decided to leave the Chancellor's Mansion and return to his hiding place. For the demon almost immediately recognized the fluctuation from the Chancellor's robe, a magic circle that led to the Otherworld, a kind of magic array that could summon all kinds of different otherworldly creatures, and unfortunately the Chancellor's magic array led to the Abyssal Demon Domain, the home of the demon Amtils.
