"It can't be!"

Farno reflexively shouted, but when she pondered Lynn's words, she found that they were surprisingly in line with the situation—because until now, Farno was still puzzled by the sudden change of her mother-in-law. At first, the impression that the woman gave to Farno was that she was not such a ruthless and brutal person.

The amount of information here...... It's a little big, and for a while Fano can't digest it.

"Don't doubt it, I dug them up from Skasa, and she doesn't have any reason to lie about them. ”

"Skasa...... The leader of the Mage Guild......"

"I thought it was a little strange at first, but when she showed me the wounds on my body, I had to believe her words. ”

Even after taking the Nianghua Potion and transforming her body into a feminine form, Skasa's abdomen still had a hideous scar. Obviously, this scar did not fall on the body, but directly imprinted on Skasa's soul - even if she took someone else's body for herself, the scar would always follow.

Originally, this was supposed to be a vicious attack that caused continuous damage to the soul, until the target was tortured to death, but Skarsa was not an ordinary person after all, and she was subjected to such an almost incurable death curse, and in the end she was still able to "digest" it - the reason why Lin didn't ≡ was able to discover the anomaly in Skasa's soul first, was because she had completely transformed this indelible evil curse into a part of her own soul.

"When Skarsa defeated the ambitious Queen Regent, he was attacked by a near-death curse. I've seen the scar that left behind. I won't be mistaken, the dark aura and the guy I'm dealing with. It's the same. And Skarsa also told me about the person who left this scar on her. It's the queen. ”

"Could it be that the crazy woman back then became like that because she was corrupted by the dark forces at that time?"

If it weren't for Lin telling this hidden secret this time, the head maid would just think that the crazy woman who had brought a lot of shadows to the people of the empire was going to self-destruction because of her own skyrocketing power**.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong...... The seal set by the first emperor of the empire, in which Skasa was a major participant, told me that it was almost impossible to loosen it without special external factors. The darkness of human nature. Although it is very, very tricky, it is disgusting in that it cannot be eradicated, and head-on confrontation is not an insoluble existence. The first emperor of the empire was himself a great man with a huge existence, and it is said that his character also belonged to the textbook type of Guang Weizheng, with his soul after death as the core of the seal, coupled with the almost strongest sealing method of the era, the solidity of the seal itself is beyond doubt. If there is any loophole at all......"

Farno felt Rin's gaze and also said his guess.

“...... Is the breakthrough in the descendants of his direct bloodline?"

If it is the direct blood of the first emperor of the empire. Maybe it can really weaken the binding force of this seal......

In fact, a person of Skasa's character does not have the heart to compete for hegemony, and it stands to reason that he will not stay after the deed is completed. She doesn't like to be bound, and the biggest reason why she chooses to stay in the same place for hundreds or even thousands of years is the biggest reason. It's that she was thrown away by her friend for such a big burden.

However, Skarsa is not a man who is proficient in the art of power. She is more adept at relying on force to grow up and press the past, and relying on real strength. Regularly come up with some strange tricks...... It's just that most conspirators are most annoyed by this kind of people. This was the case with the queen whose soul was polluted, and was finally stopped by Skasa, and all the arrangements fell short.

"Now that you've seen it in your dreams, I'm afraid Skarza's fears have come true—that dark being is already gradually freeing itself from the shackles of this seal, and its influence on the world we live in is increasing. ”

This was the best news for Lynn - saving her the need to go to the other person herself, and then be mistaken for a wicked person with evil intentions...... Sometimes, the enemy is more capable, and it can save a lot of trouble.

"Skarsa knows better than I know about that guy. Well, if we're not in a hurry to go back, it's okay to stop by the Mage Association first...... What do you think? Ms. Slade?"

"Okay...... It's also necessary to make friends with the Mage Guild - in this case, I'll go back and tell you about the situation, and you two will go to the Guild first...... Don't worry about hearing things I shouldn't have heard. ”

As soon as the maid finished speaking, she jumped from the windowsill, and disappeared from view after a few ups and downs.

She ...... She's shy?"

"I don't rule it out...... But I think the root cause is that she actually forgot to bring the money for the wine - Farno, do you have any money on you?"

Farno rolled her eyes directly--she was unprepared when she was pulled out by the head maid, and now she has empty bags, is it okay?Besides, she has just come out of prison, and she has no money to bring......

"Then let's leave through the window. Lynn opened the door and poked her head out to see that there was no one nearby, "The tavern owner doesn't look like a layman, he has quite a story, and he should be able to understand it." ”

“......”

Farno didn't know if this was bullying an honest man - but, seeing that he was willing to give the head maid a free set of male waiter clothes, he probably wouldn't care about the drink?

"I'm going to write a note and tell him to go to our place of work to ask for the wine, after all, the bottle of wine costs two hundred gold coins alone, so it's too much to run away without saying a word......

"Wait! What do you say...... More than two hundred gold coins!?"

Efarno said that he didn't remember drinking any expensive wine with the head maid!

"When you were attacked, it was this boss who poured you a rare medicinal wine in time to stabilize the situation. Although the other party did not mean to ask us to bear this loss. But in terms of reason, this money still can't be saved. It's not like we're paying out of our own pockets anyway, are we?"

――By the way, talk about the attack on yourself......

"Lynn! I know a little bit ......."

Efarno's mouth was directly covered by Lynn with her small hand.

"Fool, even if the head maid is gone, don't talk about it here. Lin looked around with some vigilance, "After I got to the association, I finished speaking at once. ”

Farno nodded incomprehensibly. Although she still didn't understand what Lynn meant, the strong and confident image that Lynn had already erected in her heart made Farno choose to follow Rin's instructions.

"You know what? I tried to follow the attack that traumatized you, but I found that there was no way to go back in backwards to the origin of the malice - because. I didn't find any malice against you at all! What does this mean? This means that it is not someone hiding in the shadows who is purposefully assassinating you, but that one of your actions has triggered a hidden defense mechanism, and thus has a set counterattack mechanism. ”

In other words, it was not motivated by the human heart, but simply an attack according to a fixed procedure.

Judging by the type and intensity of the attacks that Fano had endured, Lynn was sure. It is likely that this defensive obliteration mechanism can be triggered whenever someone perceives something - judging from the means that the other party has come up with, he is fully capable of monitoring people's thinking and cognition for a certain extent.

Master the minds of all the people in the city. That's impossible, but it's not impossible to build a defense mechanism to detect a particular thought's senses.

Lynn was 90 percent sure. It is believed that Farno was attacked because she had discovered something - if so, she had escaped even if she had escaped. It is very likely that this gaffe will also be attacked again...... Lin wasn't worried that Farno would be killed in front of her, just that. It is bound to lead the other party to completely increase vigilance.

"That...... Lynn, do you really think that someone has taken refuge in that dark being?"

"It's much easier to just 'take refuge'......"

......

When the two of them came to the door of the Mage Guild, Lin pushed the door open very directly, and walked straight in without even announcing it.

"Lynn, are you really from the association?"

Even the tavern is restricted to children, and a "high-end and high-class" place like the Mage Guild can't go in and out without restrictions - no mage likes uninvited guests to visit his "territory", especially muscular fools who don't understand magic romance. For a long time, the Mage Association has always been "idlers are not allowed to enter", unless they have been specially invited, only members of the association who have passed the guò test can enter and leave freely, which has a bit of a "heaven and earth" flavor......

Lin's posture of not treating herself as an outsider at all and opening the way directly really makes people have to doubt her identity. Generally speaking, only people who are used to this situation will be so natural at this time, right?

"No, you're wrong. Lin shook her head, rejecting Farno's speculation, "I just know Skasa, a thousand-year-old immortal...... Also, the reason why I walked in like this is because there is no one here now. ”

After walking through the gate, Fano also found that the huge hall was empty, and there was indeed no one there, and this silent silence, combined with the empty and dim structure of the association hall, really made people feel a little unconsciously hairy.

...... To put it mildly, it's like haunted.

No way, mages are known to prefer darkness, who makes a lot of magical research need to block out the interference of sunlight? Originally, the mage association seemed to be a little eerie, and it was really not surprising that Farno had such discomfort.

"How could it be...... Not a single one?"

"Because they're all on a quest for rare wonders. ”

In essence, it is called a group of strange grandfathers and strange Shu millet with a strict zhòng tense like a loli at the end, in fact, it is not unavoidable. Although Lin was not notified by Nia, when she saw Nia's huge body appear outside the city gate, she basically guessed the reason why she did this.

By the way, the size of Nia's body did give Lin a considerable shock. She thought that Serena's body size was already very large, but compared to Nia, she could only say that Selena could really be called a "child" - just by erecting the front part of her body, Nia's height had exceeded Serena's height of more than a hundred meters.

"Remember the beast that was short-lived, but also caused great panic in the city? ”

Lin didn't go to explain Nia's existence to Fano, and with Fano, who was still a little wary of the surrounding environment, she walked directly through the hall of the association and headed towards the heights. Although it was hundreds of years ago, the interior decoration of the guild was basically the same as later - when Lin saw this, she couldn't help but be a little speechless, these magicians were really lazy enough.

It is not incomprehensible that the Mage Association has been declining day by day since its own interests are nothing but his own interests, and that this dull and "retro" atmosphere can force away a large number of impetuous newcomers at once!

But it also saves Lynn the need to find her way.

"Isn't she back yet?"

Coming to the top floor, Lin didn't say it was Skasa himself, and even the group of Lori mages who were chattering non-stop didn't see it, and the entire association was really empty!

It's already morning, and even if those guys had a party last night, it doesn't make sense that none of them have come back at this time...... Could it be that something is wrong?

Lynn couldn't help but have such concerns. However, she thought about it, if such a group of mages with amazing combined combat power had something happen and were brought to an end, then the situation would be really too touching......

"Wait a minute, maybe they've been involved in some kind of accident...... What the hell am I going to !! there?"

Looking past the window, Lin, who saw the scene outside the window, suddenly couldn't calm down.

She now finally understood why none of the mages had returned. (To be continued......)
